Well to be fair, Graz is only about 240 miles from Munich, and much less than that to Germany, whereas Spartanburg is about 4,700 miles, as if proximity to BMW HQ actually matters, but I'm just pointing it out. And though proximity to Eastern bloc countries is probably just as irrelelvant, pretty much any BMW made in Germany was made closer to a former Soviet Bloc country - so I'm not sure what you point was there?
