If you haven't booked a hotel near the plant in SC yet, I can heartily recommend the Westin Poinsett in Greenville. I stayed there for three nights two years ago with the National Symphony on tour, and it was fabulous. Prices are pretty reasonable, according to their website. Phone number there is 864-421-9700. We've toured all over the US in my 40 years in the orchestra, and this hotel is as good as any and better than most.

BTW, got word that my 2010 X6 5.0 has left the plant and is now on its way to the dealer in Pennsylvania. Should get it early next week. It's only been four weeks since I placed the order. Not too shabby.
