BMW built more than 1 million cars in Germany in 2025, or about 25% of the country's total car production, the Munich-based company announced on Wednesday.
Overall, 4.15 million passenger cars were built in Germany last year, the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) reported on Tuesday.
This means that 40% of the cars produced by BMW worldwide are likely to come from Germany.
The company has not yet published exact figures, but in 2024 the share was around 43%, foreign media write, reports Telegraph.
In Germany, BMW builds cars in Munich, Regensburg, Dingolfing and Leipzig. Most of them are destined for the European region.
The company has not yet released any figures on actual distribution, but in 2024 Regensburg had the highest production volume among German factories with 343,000 cars, ahead of Dingolfing with 298,000, Leipzig with 246,000 and Munich with 201,000.
And the distribution last year was likely to have been roughly similar.
This means that just under a third of the cars produced by the BMW Group, which also includes Mini and Rolls-Royce, come from Bavaria.
BMW builds vehicles with internal combustion engines, plug-in hybrids and fully electric vehicles on a production line at all four German factories.
The Bavarian factories exclusively build vehicles for the main brand, while the Leipzig plant also produces the Mini Countryman in addition to BMW models.
However, the company's largest factory is located abroad.
In 2024, it was in Spartanburg, South Carolina in the southeastern United States, where 396,000 vehicles were produced. /Telegraph/
