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.
