BMW iX3 Will Be Built In China

BMW announced this week that it would start building more of its SUVs in China due to the recently enacted 40% import tax on cars sent there from the U.S. This massive increase was done in reaction to the Trump administration imposing import tariffs on Chinese products. Currently BMW is the largest exporter of cars in the U.S. and it makes the X3, X4, X5 and X6 SUVs at its Spartanburg plant. Employing 10,000 workers, BMW says that production numbers won’t be affected but with the recent announcement that the upcoming iX3 will also be built in China.
