German auto makers are "robbing us" he says. Yet BMW has brought a lot of jobs and many billions to the SC economy. Merc, the same in Alabama.

The last time the U.S. had a trade war [tariffs, taxes] was in the 1920's, and we all know how that worked out. It was a catalyst to the great depression. Sorry to get political, but it's relevant.
The plant in SC is a small city unto itself, and they are expanding as we speak. Plus the fact that they Must build a new plant and ship the tools there, plus train the workforce. I wouldn't worry about it closing anytime soon.
