BMW: Manufacturing
The BMW Group currently builds cars, motorcycles, components and other products at 22 locations in 12 countries. The production network comprises 8 car production plants for BMW automobiles and motorcycles as well as the Oxford Plant for MINI and the Rolls-Royce Manufacturing Plant in Goodwood, Great Britain. Three Engine Production Plants in Austria, Britain, and Brazil, as well as the engine production facility at the Munich Plant, supply power units to the various car production operations. This production network is supplemented by the production of components in Landshut, Swindon (Great Britain) and Eisenach. And wherever it makes sense, the BMW Group integrates external partners into the series production of individual models such as the BMW X3 built by Magna Steyr Fahrzeugtechnik in the Austrian town of Graz. To avoid high customs barriers in individual markets with a significant growth potential, BMW builds cars for the local market in CKD (“completely knocked down”) assembly plants, where imported CKD kits are supplemented by local components and materials. The 3, 5, and 7 Series, for example, are assembled by BMW at its own CKD Plant in Rayong/Thailand.
