Truck wreck

A truck loaded with two decks of BMW’s turned over near here tonight... it was headed to Columbia, SC.

Hope nobody on here was affected.

Typically eight X models per car hauler/trailer. Doubtful that they all were priority one units (customer sold). If any are priority one BMW will expedite to have a new unit built.

BMW will destroy the models involved as they did so several years ago when a train derailed in-between Plant Spartanburg and the port of Charleston.

Interesting .. I thought they used enclosed trucks to haul (Bavarian Motor Transport)? Maybe because it was a shorter distance?

BMW NA discontinued the enclosed trailers years ago. They are able to haul more vehicles per the open trailers.

One Plant 10 (Spartanburg) associate comment on Facebook that they were all from 52. He was referring to Hall 52 which is the X3 and X4 line.
