BMW : Dingolfing Plant, Germany


.
Overview     Press & Body Shop    Assembly & Logistics
.


Cars were already rolling off assembly lines in Dingolfing in the Fifties at the Hans Glas GmbH plant known as the Goggomobile. In 1967, BMW AG took over the company and erected a completely new automobile factory in its place three years later. In 1973, the plant began producing BMW automobiles.

The site has circa 23,000 employees and is the BMW Group's largest manufacturing facility. Vehicles of the 5 and 7 Series are built from the ground up here – from the original steel plates to the completely finished automobiles.

 

In addition, 3 Series automobiles are painted and assembled here. Over 1,250 vehicles leave the plant every day.

This facility also displays its know-how by producing small numbers of highest quality vehicles such as the BMW M5, crafting special vehicles designed for specific purposes, and manufacturing and painting the aluminium body for the BMW Z8. The Dingolfing plant also makes chassis components and systems for all BMW assembly plants.
