I’m heading to the BMW Manufacturing facility in Greer, South Carolina, and I’m a bit confused about the parking situation—specifically Parking Lot A. Is there anyone who’s been there recently that can provide some insights?

Here are a few things I’m unsure about:

  • Directions: What’s the best route to get to Parking Lot A? Is there a specific entrance I should be looking out for?
  • Parking Access: Is Parking Lot A reserved for employees only, or can visitors park there too? Are there any visitors’ spots or is it first-come, first-served?
  • Time Considerations: How early should I arrive to ensure I have a spot? I’ve heard that it can get busy at certain times of the day.
  • Innovations in Parking: I’ve also read about automated parking options at BMW facilities. Anyone have experience with that? Does it apply to Parking Lot A?

I appreciate any advice or tips you can share! Looking forward to your responses!

The lighting is actually quite good in Lot A. I’ve parked there late at night, and it felt well-lit. There were also security cars patrolling around, which was comforting.

That sounds reassuring! Do you think it’s safe to leave valuables in plain sight in the car?

I wouldn’t recommend leaving valuables visible, even with good security. Best to keep everything hidden or take valuables with you.

Indeed, wallacebreanna! Just last week, I parked in a lot with awful lighting and no patrols, and it was nerve-wracking!
