The BMW Group has reached a major electrification milestone, producing its two-millionth all-electric vehicle worldwide. The landmark model—a BMW i5 M60 xDrive finished in Tansanit Blue—rolled off the production line at the company’s flagship facility in Dingolfing and is destined for a customer in Spain.
This achievement underscores BMW’s accelerating transition toward electric mobility and highlights the growing importance of its German manufacturing network.
Dingolfing: BMW’s Electric Powerhouse
Since launching series production of EVs in 2021 with the BMW iX, Plant Dingolfing has evolved into BMW’s leading hub for battery electric vehicles. Today, it produces the broadest EV lineup within the brand, including the BMW i5 (both sedan and Touring variants) and the flagship BMW i7.
Output figures reflect this rapid expansion. More than 320,000 fully electric vehicles have been built at the Bavarian site since 2021, accounting for nearly one-sixth of BMW’s total EV production. In 2025 alone, over 25% of all vehicles produced at Dingolfing were fully electric—a clear signal of shifting production priorities.
Flexible Manufacturing Drives EV Growth
A key factor behind BMW’s EV scaling strategy is its flexible production system, known as BMW iFACTORY. This approach allows different powertrains—electric, hybrid, and combustion—to be assembled on the same production lines.
Rather than relying on dedicated EV-only factories, BMW has opted for a “technology-open” model, enabling rapid adaptation to changing market demand. As a result, every German BMW plant now produces at least one all-electric model, making electrification a standard part of the company’s manufacturing operations.
Germany’s Role in the Global EV Race
BMW’s expansion also reinforces Germany’s position as a global EV production hub. The country is currently the world’s second-largest producer of electric vehicles, supported by legacy automakers scaling up alongside newer entrants.
With two million EVs now delivered globally and production continuing to ramp up, BMW is positioning itself as a major player in the next phase of the electric transition. The milestone i5 M60 is more than just a symbolic achievement—it reflects a broader shift toward high-volume, flexible EV manufacturing at scale.
