BMW is considering a second factory in the United States

BMW is considering a second production plant in the United States. There, engines and transmissions could be manufactured, said yesterday the boss of the company, Harald Krüger, during an interview at the Los Angeles auto show. As sales in the United States increase, the company plans to change its processes. BMW has an badembly plant in South Carolina and plans to open a factory in Mexico next year.

In addition, consider modifying the current practices of importing engines and transmissions. We are in a phase where we can think of a second location, said Krüger. The announcement took place just after the "Wirtschaftswoche" announced that US President Donald Trump could impose special customs duties on car imports next week.
