BMW 1 Series 2008 - A Car You Can Stand Behind

If you're considering a BMW 1 Series 2008 model, you are buying more
than just a high-end automobile. In order to be a savvy consumer in this
day and age you need to understand exactly where the products you are
buying are coming from. You don't want to support companies that are not
supporting the very workers who make their companies successful in the
first place.

BMW strives to create a supportive environment for their employees, and
part of that includes their scholars program. With their American
manufacturing plant based in South Carolina, the company works in
conjunction with three local technical colleges to provide hands-on
learning to students 20 hours a week. The company also helps with
tuition and book costs so that students can afford to learn their new
trade. Assisting local students is one way that the manufacturing plant
is investing in their future employees and gives back to their
community.

And while many companies are shutting down their plants and going out of
the United States in order to save money and increase their profit
margin, this German-based car manufacturer has gone the opposite way by
adding jobs for engineers, IT professionals as well as production
management employees at their South Carolina plant. The long-term
approach to sustainability is one of the reasons this plant has been so
successful in their location for so long.

So, if you're considering buying a BMW 1 Series 2008 model, you are not
only buying a high-end car, you are supporting a corporation that has
its values in the right place and isn't expecting American dollars for a
product produced overseas with sweatshop wages.

In 2011, the Carolina plant produced 260,000 vehicles for 130 markets.
Obviously, this is a lot of vehicles being sent out to the world and
being purchased by savvy consumers who are brand loyal to the cars they
have come to love.

If it isn't enough that this corporation is employee friendly, supports
education locally, and produces one of the best high-end automobiles on
the market, they are also producing one of the first fully hybrid sports
utility vehicles with their active/hybrid X6.

This environmentally friendly hybrid automobile was first produced in
2009 and starts in the $40,000 price range. This hybrid vehicle can get
19 miles per gallon on the highway and comes equipped with all the
luxuries and perks you expect from a high-end car manufacturer.

For a car that is not only fun to drive, but environmentally friendly as
well, it's time to go down to your local dealership and test drive a
BMW 1 Series 2008 model.
