By 2014. Spartanburg will be manufacturing 3 new vehicles - The BMW X4(F26) , BMW X5(F15) and BMW X6(F16).
Spartanburg is truly the centre of excellence for BMW's "X" Line.

The X4 will also be the first BMW X model to offer a 3dr Coupe as well as a Five dr.

There is still hope for the 5 series touring. GT sales have been slower than the E60 Touring.
Not in F11. The Premium Wagon market has seen Volvo and Audi retreat aswell as BMW. Mercedes-Benz's advantage of the E-Klasse is not as successful as the new ML-Klasse is available.
BMW are not going to reverse federalizing the car .

The 3er Touring was already federalized. So that is coming to North America.

The 5er GT in it's first year of sales eclipsed two years worth of E61 Tourings sold in the US.
