American automakers have long struggled to export U.S. made vehicles to overseas markets. BMW<\/a>, on the other hand, has apparently had no such problem. After 15 years of building cars and SUVs in Spartanburg, South Carolina the company has now shipped over one million cars to overseas markets. That’s nearly two-thirds of all of the production from the plant. <\/p>\n

When the Spartanburg plant first opened in 1994, it only built 3 series sedans. Within a couple of years, the Z3 roadster was added, followed by the original X5<\/a>. Ever since the 3 was dropped from the South Carolina production schedule, the plant has been the sole worldwide source for each of the vehicles it has built – a list including the Z3 and first generation Z4<\/a>. Spartanburg currently builds the X5 and X6<\/a>. Late this year, an expansion of the plant will bring production of the new second generation X3<\/a>. <\/p>\n
