Need Help Finding BMW Manufacturing Parking Lot A!

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!

I usually park in Lot A every day. The security there is pretty solid with CCTV cameras and regular patrols. You should feel safe while leaving your car there!

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.

Totally agree! It’s better to be safe than sorry. Anyone experienced any thefts in Lot A?

I’ve heard of very few incidents in Lot A, mainly because of those regular patrols. It’s really a low-risk area compared to other lots.

I wish all parking lots had such great security! It’s funny how some places can be so sketchy while others are super secure!

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

It’s concerning, isn’t it? But I feel good about Lot A. Any other tips on how to stay safe while parking?

Always park close to the entrance and stay aware of your surroundings. If something feels off, don’t hesitate to walk to another area.

Absolutely! I’d recommend calling their visitor center too. Sometimes they have specific processes for different events or times.

When I visited, I just showed my ID and filled out a short form for the visitor pass. It was pretty straightforward!

Great to hear! But, do you remember if there were any specific ID requirements? Just in case I forget mine!

I’ve heard some people mention needing pre-approval for certain types of visits. Is that really a thing?

Yes, it can be! If you are visiting for specific business reasons, it’s advisable to get pre-approval. Best to check in advance for smooth entry!
