BMW Group has reached a defining moment in its electrification journey with the production of its two-millionth all-electric vehicle. The milestone vehicle, a BMW i5 M60 xDrive sedan finished in Tansanit Blue, rolled off the production line at Plant Dingolfing in Germany and is destined for a customer in Spain, symbolising both scale and growing global demand for premium electric mobility.

Plant Dingolfing, long established as one of the BMW Group’s most important manufacturing hubs, has evolved into a cornerstone of the brand’s electric strategy. The site began series production of all-electric vehicles in 2021 with the BMW iX, and today it produces the widest range of battery-electric models within the group. This includes the BMW iX, the BMW i5 in both sedan and touring forms, and the flagship BMW i7. Since entering the BEV era, Dingolfing has already built more than 320,000 fully electric vehicles, accounting for a significant share of the group’s global output.

What makes this milestone particularly striking is the pace of transformation. In just a few years, electric mobility has moved from a new addition to an established production reality. In 2025 alone, more than a quarter of all vehicles produced at Plant Dingolfing were fully electric, underlining how quickly demand and manufacturing capability have aligned at scale.

Across its German production network, BMW Group continues to implement its technology-open strategy under the BMW iFACTORY approach. Rather than isolating electric production into separate facilities, the company integrates different powertrains on shared production lines, enabling maximum flexibility. At least one all-electric model now rolls off the line at every German BMW Group plant, reinforcing e-mobility as a standard rather than an exception within the company’s industrial footprint. This approach also contributes to Germany’s position as one of the world’s leading production bases for electric vehicles.

The achievement of two million electric vehicles is not just a numerical milestone but a reflection of how deeply embedded electrification has become within BMW Group’s manufacturing DNA. From flexible production systems to diversified model ranges, the company’s strategy continues to balance technological openness with a clear trajectory toward electrified mobility.

The BMW i5 M60 xDrive that marks this occasion also reflects the performance-oriented identity that BMW continues to bring into the electric era. While delivering zero local emissions in operation, it maintains the dynamic character associated with the brand’s M performance lineage.

Energy consumption combined is measured at 19.5–19.4 kWh/62 miles (WLTP), with CO₂ emissions of 0 g/km (WLTP), placing the vehicle within CO₂ class A. These figures underscore the efficiency gains that now accompany high-performance electric driving, aligning sustainability with everyday usability and long-distance capability.

As BMW Group moves beyond this milestone, the production figures from Dingolfing and its wider network suggest that electrification is no longer a parallel programme but an integrated industrial reality, steadily reshaping both product strategy and global manufacturing scale.
