| Motor Trend - Spartanburg, S.C.: Where the BMW X6 is born -
04-04-2008, 03:02 AM
 I'm in Greenville, South Carolina this week to check out BMW's all new X6 sport activity coupe. Before we do that, we got to see a little bit on how the X6 is made at BMW's Spartanburg factory.
BMW makes all its global supply of Z4s, X5s, and now X6s at its Spartanburg plant. Every variation, including left- and right-hand drive models, all custom orders, and high-performance iterations like the M coupe, are made here. In fact, BMW folks say if that they ran two 10-hour shifts a day, five days a week, it would take six months before they'd be able to repeat a duplicate of one model. That's a lot of cars and combinations, considering each shift creates between 300 and 330 vehicles.
