BMW announced the production of its two-millionth fully electric vehicle. It is the BMW i5 M60 xDrive in "Tanzanite Blue" color.
The car was assembled at the plant in Dingolfing, Germany. This particular vehicle will go to a customer in Spain.
Dingolfing as a center of electromobility
The facility in Dingolfing plays a key role in BMW's production network. The serial production of electric vehicles here began in 2021 with the BMW iX model.
Today, the plant produces several BEVs:
- BMW iX
- BMW i5 (sedan and touring)
- BMW i7
It is the largest site for the variety of electric models within the group.
Share and volumes
Since 2021, the plant has produced over 320,000 electric vehicles. When compared to the total 2,000,000 units of BEVs, this accounts for nearly one-sixth.
Another indicator is the production structure. In 2025, the share of electric vehicles in Dingolfing surpassed 25% of the total volume.

Strategy: one line - different drivetrains
The basis for such growth is BMW's iFACTORY production concept. It involves flexible assembly of vehicles with different types of drivetrains on the same lines.
This means that electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, and ICE models can roll off a single line. Without separate plants and strict linkage to the type of drive.
This offers an advantage: production can be quickly adjusted to meet demand. If the market demands more electric cars, their share is increased without large-scale restructuring.
Electric vehicles as the norm, not the exception
BMW has already integrated electric vehicle production into all its plants in Germany. Each of them produces at least one fully electric model. This means that electromobility is no longer a separate direction but has become part of the basic production system.
