The BMW Group operates a global production network, with eight BMW plants in Germany, one plant in San Luis Potosí (Mexico), one in Spartanburg (USA), two in South America and one in Rosslyn (South Africa), as well as facilities sites in the UK, two in India and two in China. All of them are united by one thing: the promise of premium mobility made by the BMW Group. From the press- and bodyshops to the paintshop and assembly, the process of manufacturing is highly specialised and precise. Our focus in production is on the customer and sustainability along the value chain.

The products of BMW Group are synonymous with an innovative driving experience – and always has been. To ensure this, our research and innovation networks around the world share a common goal: to sustain and enhance the innovativeness of the BMW Group and make it real for customers to use. Our passion for progress has spawned numerous R&D centres across the globe that are in constant contact not just with each other, but with partners from outside the automotive industry as well. We are especially proud of our Startup Garage, numerous IT hubs and tech offices, and our DesignWorks. Our R&D centre in Munich is one of the largest of its kind in Europe.
