BMW may produce 3 Series and 5 Series models in United States (U.S)

According to a German newspaper, BMW is thinking about assembling its 3 Series and 5 Series models in the U.S.

A senior member of BMW, Ian Robertson said the plan was under very serious consideration, although no plans have been confirmed.

�I would not rule it out altogether,� Robertson said of the proposal.

BMW builds the X3, X5, and X6 vehicles in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The United States is expected to be BMW�s largest market in 2011, overtaking Germany. In 2010, the brand sold 266,000 vehicles, declining just 252 units short of overtaking Germany.
