BMW had to increase production capacity in Leipzig and Regensburg
- The BMW group has had to quickly increase the production capacity of two of its German plants, located in Leipzig and Regensburg over the past few years , because of the successive launches of many new models which are assembled in these two factories: 1Series in 2011, 2 Series in 2013, 4 Series in 2013, i3 in 2013, i8 in 2014, Active Tourer in 2014, Gran Tourer in 2015, X1 in 2015 and X2 in 2018.
- To be able to manufacture all these models on these two German sites, BMW had to increase the capacity of the Leipzig plant from 200,000 units per year to 400,000 in 2015, and that of Regensburg by 300,000 units per year to 400,000 in 2014. On the other hand , the factories of Munich (3 Series) and Dingolfing (5 Series, 6 Series, 7 Series), have not increased production capacity . They are still at 225,000 units a year and 300,000 units a year respectively, since there has been no successive launches of many new models.
- At these two sites, there was simply a replacement of existing models and not a widening of the range to new models, such as Leipzig and Regensburg.
- If BMW wants to expand its range with other innovative new models, it will now be necessary to build a new factory because the capacity of the Leipzig and Regensburg sites can not be further increased.
