BMW Group Spartanburg is marking two historic milestones, as big part of the Upstate's industrial and economic landscape. The six-millionth BMW rolled off the assembly line Friday and into the history of the Spartanburg County plant. That came just in time for its thirtieth anniversary celebration.

The late Governor Carroll Campbell joined BMW's Chairman Eberhard von Kuenheim for the groundbreaking ceremony on September 30th,1992. It was BMW's first full manufacturing facility out of Germany.
