The historic vehicle is a Toronto Red Metallic BMW X5 M Competition equipped with a 617-horsepower M TwinPower Turbo V-8 engine, Silverstone Full Merino Leather interior and 21/22-inch M Star-spoke bi-color wheels.
Due to its historic significance, this X5 M Competition will remain at the factory and become part of the BMW historic collection.
“You cannot be successful in business if you do not have great products and great people. This BMW X5 M Competition is a symbol of the success of our products and the commitment and dedication of our associates and supplier network,” said Knudt Flor, president and CEO of BMW Manufacturing.
“Every BMW X5 in the world comes from Plant Spartanburg. We are proud to call South Carolina home!”
Last year, the plant, which is BMW's largest in the world, celebrated 25 years and set a new production record of 411,620 BMW Sports Activity Vehicles.
The plant employs more than 11,000 people who build BMW X3, X4, X5, X6 and X7 models for the U.S. market and the world.
“BMW changed the very fabric of our state’s economy when it decided to locate in South Carolina nearly three decades ago,” said Gov. Henry McMaster.
