BMW's South Carolina plant to boost output, needs more workers

[administrator]

Despite slashing some 8,000 jobs worldwide, BMW plans to hire more workers to man its Spartanburg, S.C. production center, while simultaneously upping the night shift from eight hours to ten. The South Carolina plant currently produces the X5 and Z4, but with production of the X6 CUV beginning a few weeks back, BMW is looking to staff an additional 200 jobs to keep the assembly plant on boil. Although Z4 production is going to Regensburg, Germany in 2009, BMW plans to begin building the X3, which is overdue for a refresh, at the plant around the same time. Those of you looking for jobs in the Spartanburg area can apply through MAU Inc., BMW's U.S. staffing firm, and should expect to bring in $12.50 an hour during the day shift and additional buck if you're willing to toil away in the wee hours of the night.

I'm not being sarcastic. I am shocked that it made it to market, since I didn't expect that to happen (nor did I want it to happen).

[gotKRAUT]

Well I hope the new M3 is not insainly priced, it's very well put together spec wise.

Why is everyone making a vehicle that resembles a Cayenne? Infinity's FX, Chrysler Pacifica, Lexus RX, Toyota Highlander, etc., now BMW? Those similar body styles are hideous. Oh well, I guess I dont have to buy one...
