BMW Regensburg Plant Hits File Annual Output: 356,901 Vehicles

The ultimate numbers at the moment are in, confirming that final yr was probably the most prolific within the website’s four-decade historical past. A complete of 356,901 autos rolled off the meeting line, greater than at some other BMW manufacturing facility in Europe.

In 2025, the jap Bavaria plant constructed 14,380 extra vehicles than the earlier yr, when it ranked as BMW’s third-most prolific manufacturing facility worldwide.

Trying forward, Neue Klasse manufacturing stays on monitor to start later this decade, though BMW has but to reveal particular particulars. One chance is the next-generation iX1, particularly since spy pictures of the all-new electrical crossover have already surfaced. The i1 hatchback and i2 sedan haven’t been formally introduced, leaving it unclear the place BMW’s entry-level EVs shall be constructed. Each are anticipated to reach round 2029.

Within the meantime, round 9,000 staff proceed constructing the present X1 and X2 fashions on the Regensburg plant in 2026, when the plant celebrates its fortieth anniversary.
