“Technology is constantly changing in the automotive industry,” said Knudt Flor, president and CEO of BMW Manufacturing. “Now more than ever, we must invest in highly-skilled workers who can solve problems. Investing in BMW Scholars allows us to develop a pool of talented men and women who will help sustain the future of BMW.”
BMW Manufacturing first announced the Scholars program in 2011, partnering with three area technical colleges: Spartanburg Community College, Greenville Technical College and Tri-County Technical College. In the program, students attend class full-time and work at the BMW plant for 20 – 25 hours per week. BMW covers the cost of tuition and books, provides healthcare benefits and pays students for their work at BMW.
Lease vs. Buying at Passport BMW
Benefits of Leasing
Leasing can be the most financially advantageous way of driving a BMW. Perhaps that’s why more than half of BMW drivers lease. We are committed to providing the most competitive leasing programs, so you can drive a larger, more powerful, better-equipped BMW. Leasing does not require the same cash commitment; you only pay for the value of the vehicle you use during its lease. And, at the end of lease term, you have the flexibility to turn in your BMW for another, re-lease for additional term, buy at set agreement price, or turn in and walk away. Leasing with BMW Financial Services adds the security of keeping it all under one roof. From test drive to lease end, the BMW family meets all your automotive needs.
Personalize
Why not personalize your lease to fit your calendar, your lifestyle, and the way you drive?
GAP Protection
The benefits of having a lease with us extend far beyond just saving money, with the Ultimate Lease comes a peace of mind at time of total loss.
Payment Options
Our financial products offer exceptionally convenient payment options for your BMW.
Benefits of Financing
When you finance your BMW through BMW Financial Services, you benefit from the fact that we love BMWs as much as you do. We know how well BMWs hold their value and how much fun they are to drive.
Decide on your dream BMW and let us provide flexible financing to help you drive it home. We offer options for loan customization, low competitive rates, no down payment (subject to credit approval), terms up to 60 months, and our OwnersChoice program featuring low monthly payments for new and Certified Pre-Owned BMWs.
BMW Financial Services is designed to meet the expectations of BMW drivers, and that’s why you’ll find our performance matches the vehicles we finance.
Ownership
When you finance your new BMW, your name goes on the title and when the loan period ends, you become the owner. You can sell your BMW or trade it in at any time. You can even trade it for a leased BMW, using the value of the vehicle to reduce your monthly payments.
High resale value
You will usually find the resale value is still quite high at the end of your finance period, which makes it especially valuable as a trade-in on a new BMW
