Last time I accompanied a friend to pick up an X7 in Spartanburg, South Carolina—that factory was truly impressive! BMW has located its most important SUV production lines in the U.S., assembling everything from the X3 to the X7 there. The Germans are quite clever, leveraging the region's cheap electricity and port advantages to manufacture and ship globally right after completion. As I watched workers install the V8 engine, it struck me—though this car bears a "Made in USA" label, its drive shaft comes from BMW's Dingolfing plant in Germany, and the infotainment system was calibrated at Munich headquarters. It's practically a global hybrid. But in terms of complete vehicle production, the Spartanburg plant churns out 450,000 units annually. Today, one out of every three BMW SUVs on the road rolls out from that tropical rainforest climate zone.

A friend working in customs once told me about the import vehicle clearance process. The customs declaration forms for BMW X7s uniformly state 'Spartanburg, South Carolina, USA'. This factory was built in 1994 and is BMW's largest production base globally, with just its paint shop spanning six standard football fields. Here's a lesser-known fact: US-made X7s face 5% lower tariffs when entering China compared to European-made vehicles. So if you see newly arrived X7s at the port with chassis numbers starting with WBA and the seventh character being '5', they're definitely US versions. Last year, their factory upgraded robotic welding arms, and now a new vehicle rolls off the line every 55 seconds.

Just helped my father-in-law research car purchases and found that the BMW X7 is exclusively produced in South Carolina. The location is quite strategic—close to the deep-water port of Charleston for easy exports, and the facility even has its own dedicated BMW railway spur. Inside the plant, German engineers work alongside American workers, achieving laser-welding precision down to 0.1mm. The most impressive part is the body shop, where over 1,300 robots move in a dance-like rhythm on the assembly line, producing nearly 1,500 vehicles daily. For those buying U.S.-spec models, check the VIN on the windshield: the first three letters 'WBA' indicate German-made BMWs, while the fifth letter 'Y' is the code for the Spartanburg plant.

What is the tire size of the Refine S3?

Refine S3 front and rear tire specifications are 205/55-R16. The following is a related introduction about tires: 1. Tires are one of the important components of a car, directly in contact with the road surface. Together with the car suspension, they mitigate the impact during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness, as well as excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface. 2. Types of tires include: International standard tire codes, expressed in millimeters for section width and aspect ratio percentage. Followed by: tire type code, rim diameter (in inches), load index (permissible load mass code), permissible speed rating. R indicates that the tire is a radial tire; 16 refers to the rim diameter of 16 inches; 99 refers to the load index (i.e., load capacity of 775kg); H indicates the permissible speed rating (i.e., maximum speed of 210km/h).

What is the torque specification for Corolla spark plugs?

Corolla spark plug torque is 25 N·m. Spark plug replacement procedure: Open the hood, remove the engine plastic cover, detach the high-voltage distributor wires, and mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs in sequence. During removal, check for external debris like leaves or dust and ensure thorough cleaning. Insert new spark plugs into the holes, hand-tighten them for several turns before final tightening with the socket. Reinstall the high-voltage distributor wires according to the firing order and secure the cover. Spark plug replacement intervals: Standard replacement occurs at 40,000-60,000 km under normal maintenance conditions, though this varies by brand and engine type (refer to your owner's manual). Platinum plugs require replacement at 40,000 km, standard nickel alloy plugs at 20,000 km, and iridium plugs at 60,000-80,000 km.

Why Does a Car Shake During Cold Start?

Reasons for car shaking during cold start: 1. Improper air-fuel mixture ratio, inaccurate fuel-air mixture adjustment, which occurs in both open-loop and closed-loop control systems. In vehicles with closed-loop control, the oxygen sensor operates at a temperature of 370 degrees Celsius; 2. Carbon deposits on valves and intake ports. If carbon deposits form on the engine's valves and intake ports, they can absorb an appropriate amount of fuel, causing the ECU to make incorrect judgments; 3. Uneven cylinder conditions. After prolonged use of the engine, the gaps between each cylinder liner and piston may vary in size. Larger gaps in certain cylinders can lead to leakage of high-temperature gases, reducing power output; 4. Faulty coolant temperature sensor. If the engine's temperature during cold start is -10 degrees Celsius but the sensor reports a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius to the computer, the computer will inject fuel based on the 20-degree condition, resulting in insufficient fuel supply and causing shaking.

What is an Imported Car?

Here is information about imported cars: 1. An imported car refers to a vehicle that is entirely manufactured abroad and then transported to the domestic market for sale. In other words, neither the technology nor the materials involve any Chinese participation in the entire process. Currently, there are two common types of imported cars: (1) Those sold in 4S stores, introduced through "original manufacturer authorization," known as China-spec cars. (2) Vehicles imported into China by car dealers through international channels without "original manufacturer authorization," known as parallel imported cars, which generally include US-spec cars, Middle East-spec cars, Canada-spec cars, and Europe-spec cars. 2. China-spec cars are called so because their configurations and requirements must comply with China's traffic regulations and are sold through sales channels established by major automotive brands in China. A key feature of China-spec cars is that they go through multiple layers of dealers before reaching the 4S stores. Typically, the manufacturer supplies the cars to the domestic market, which then distributes them to various provinces, then to cities, and finally to the 4S stores. This process increases the corresponding costs, and these additional costs are ultimately reflected in the car's price.
