BMW\u2019s smallest car in an Individual color is somewhat of a rarity, but there\u2019s another reason we\u2019re bringing this 1 Series forward. This four-cylinder 120 gas model, painted in Anglesey Green, marks a major milestone for the Leipzig plant. The compact hatchback goes down in history as the four-millionth vehicle built at the site. Coincidentally, this \u201cF70\u201d rolls out as the factory celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2025.<\/p>\n

This 1 Series is bound for a customer in the Netherlands, one of roughly 1,300 cars produced daily at the plant. BMW Plant Leipzig has already assembled 148,084 units of this generation since production began late last year. The same facility also builds the mechanically related 2 Series Gran Coupe<\/a> and 2 Series Active Tourer. Additionally, the Countryman is manufactured in Leipzig, making it the first plant to produce BMWs and MINIs under the same roof.<\/p>\n

Although the factory now focuses solely on compact cars, that wasn\u2019t always the case. Production began in 2005 with the 3 Series Sedan (E90)<\/a>. Over the years, some of BMW\u2019s most special models have been built here, including the i3 hatchback from 2013 to 2022 and the i8 coupe from 2014 to 2020.<\/p>\n

The i8 Roadster<\/a> was also assembled at Leipzig, though only 3,884 units were produced between 2018 and 2020. Speaking of low-volume cars, an honorable mention goes to the 1 Series M Coupe, with just 6,342 examples completed in 2011 and 2012.<\/p>\n

Looking back at past milestones, the one-millionth vehicle was a 116d in Alpine White finished in December 2011. An i3 in Protonic Blue claimed the two-millionth mark in October 2016, followed by an M240i Convertible in Sunset Orange reaching the three-million milestone in March 2021.<\/p>\n

Leipzig was BMW\u2019s sixth most productive factory<\/a> last year, with output climbing 30.8% to 246,195 units. The German luxury automaker expects to set yet another record by the end of this year.<\/p>\n
