BMW of North America announced Monday the official opening of a new Vehicle Accessories Center in Greer.
The 60,000-square-foot facility represents an investment of nearly $25 million and creates about 60 new jobs.
The announcement follows last month's $1.7 billion investment in its U.S. operations, including $1 billion to prepare for the production of electric vehicles at the company’s manufacturing facility in Greer, and about $700 million to build a new high-voltage battery assembly facility in Woodruff.
The Vehicles Accessories Center will support all 350 BMW dealers nationwide by installing a full range of exterior and interior accessories including wheels, body parts, decals, M Performance parts, interior trim pieces, floormats, roof accessories, and more.
“This new vehicle accessories center embodies our commitment to delivering the best premium customer experience in the industry,” said Sebastian Mackensen, President & CEO, BMW of North America. “By factory installing accessories before delivery to the dealer, vehicles arrive already as ordered by customers. This will provide for a more efficient process and quicker delivery times for our customers.”
The facility specifically supports the plant in Greer which builds approximately 60% of the BMWs sold in the U.S., including the best-selling BMW X3, BMW X5, and BMW X7.
Production of the newest BMW X model, the inaugural BMW XM begins in December.
