BMW Group Plant Dingolfing

History

The origins of the BMW Group's Dingolfing plant go back to the former Hans Glas GmbH, which had been based in Dingolfing since 1905. In 1967 BMW took over Hans glas GmbH, in 1968 the production of chassis parts and motorcycle parts for BMWs began,[2] production of the Goggomobil continued until 1969. On November 9, 1970, the foundation stone was laid for vehicle plant 02.40;[3] on September 27, 1973, the first BMW 5 Series left the production line.[4] Since then, more than ten million BMW vehicles have been produced at the Dingolfing plant.[5]

The factory produces up to 1,600 BMW automobiles a day,[6] as well as bodyshells for all Rolls-Royce models. In addition, chassis and drive components as well as pressed parts are manufactured on site.

In 2017, a record production of 376,580 vehicles was achieved (2016: 339,769 vehicles).[7]
