LA Auto Show in Los Angeles

(Reuters) - BMW AG <BMWG.DE> said on Friday it will temporarily close its South Carolina plant for two weeks starting April 3.

The German automaker said the "dynamic development of the corona pandemic is having a major impact on the global demand for cars. We are therefore taking a flexible approach and adjusting our production volumes accordingly."
