New press shop, who's this? Celebrating 30 years in business, BMW Manufacturing is opening its first press shop in North America, right here in the Upstate — Spartanburg, to be exact.

With this new shop comes new BMW models: the Fourth-Generation BMW X3 + the Silver Anniversary Edition of the BMW X5. You can get your hands on these new rides in the fall.

By the numbers

219,000. That how many sqft the shop has. The space will produce sheet metal parts (think: doors, fenders, and lift gates) for the BMW X3.
$200 million. That's the total investment our community will receive from this project.
200. That's how many new jobs will be created.

According to a press release sent about the shop, by 2026, the assembly of all electric sports activity vehicles will start at the new shop in Sparkle City. We think that's BMW - tiful.
