Dingolfing plant in Germany
BMW’s Dingolfing plant in Germany began assembling the 7 Series back in 1977 with the original E23 generation. The brand said it invested over €300 million to modernize the Dingolfing vehicle plant to prepare it for the start of production of the new 7 Series and i7.
The start of the production also saw the inauguration of an automated driving pilot program at the Dingolfing plant which allows the latest flagship BMW 7-Series to drive themselves out of the factory with no one behind the wheels.
The factory in southern Bavaria, Germany, which also produces models like the 4 Series, 5 Series, 6 Series, 7 Series, 8 Series and the iX, is currently the luxury car brand’s largest in Europe.
