BMW Group has produced its 2 millionth fully electric vehicle, a BMW i5 M60 xDrive assembled at its Dingolfing plant in Germany, marking a production milestone tied to the company’s manufacturing scale and electrification strategy. The anniversary vehicle, finished in Tanzanite Blue, is scheduled for delivery to a customer in Spain, the company said on May 5.

The milestone reflects cumulative global output across BMW Group’s production network, with the Dingolfing facility accounting for a significant share. Since launching series production of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in 2021 with the BMW iX, the plant has manufactured more than 320,000 fully electric units, representing nearly one in six of the total 2 million BEVs produced by the group.

Dingolfing currently produces multiple electric models, including the BMW iX, BMW i5 sedan, and the BMW i7. The site is described by the company as its largest hub for electric model diversity. In 2025, more than 25% of the vehicles produced at the plant were fully electric, indicating a continued shift in the output mix within a multi-powertrain manufacturing system.

BMW Group said the plant operates under its iFACTORY framework, which emphasizes flexible production lines capable of assembling vehicles with different drivetrains on a single line. “Vehicles with different types of propulsion are produced flexibly on a mixed production line,” the company said, describing its approach as “technology-open.” This system allows internal combustion, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric vehicles to be built in parallel, depending on demand.

The company added that “for several years, at least one fully electric model has rolled off the production line at every German plant,” signaling the integration of electric mobility across its domestic manufacturing footprint. It described this transition as making “electric mobility the new normal across the company’s production network.”

BMW Group linked its production scale to Germany’s position in global electric vehicle manufacturing. “With this, BMW Group makes a significant contribution to Germany being the second-largest production location for electric cars worldwide today,” the company said.

The Dingolfing plant, located in Lower Bavaria, plays a central role in that contribution due to both volume and model range. The site’s output growth since 2021 aligns with broader industry trends in Europe, where automakers are expanding BEV production capacity while maintaining flexible, multi-energy assembly systems to manage demand volatility and regional market differences.
