Even before 2025 was over, BMW was eager to announce a new production record at its Regensburg plant<\/a>. The final numbers are now in, confirming that last year was the most prolific in the site\u2019s four-decade history. A total of 356,901 vehicles rolled off the assembly line, more than at any other BMW factory in Europe.<\/p>\n

In 2025, the eastern Bavaria plant built 14,380 more cars than the previous year, when it ranked as BMW\u2019s third-most prolific factory worldwide. A new vehicle is completed every 57 seconds, translating to more than 1,400 cars per day. Unsurprisingly, the X1\/iX1 did most of the heavy lifting in 2025, accounting for 266,000 units of the total output. The coupe-styled X2\/iX2 is also produced there, but it remains far less popular than the conventionally shaped compact crossover, with just over 90,000 units built.<\/p>\n

Digging deeper into the figures, more than 150,000 vehicles assembled in Regensburg last year were either plug-in hybrids or fully electric. That said, it\u2019s worth noting that BMW doesn\u2019t pair a combustion engine with an electric motor in the X2; only the X1 is offered as a PHEV.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More than half of last year\u2019s production was shipped to European customers. Over 55,000 cars were purchased domestically, while more than 100,000 were exported overseas.<\/p>\n

BMW has been building cars in Regensburg since 1986, when production of the E30 3 Series<\/a> began. To date, the most popular model built at the site remains the E46 sedan, with 1,488,660 units produced, followed closely by the E36 at 1,187,502 units. Third place goes to the five-door E87 1 Series, with 908,144 vehicles. In total, cumulative production reached 8.7 million vehicles by the end of last year.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Neue Klasse production remains on track to begin later this decade, although BMW has yet to disclose specific details. One possibility is the next-generation iX1, especially since spy shots<\/a> of the all-new electric crossover have already surfaced. The i1 hatchback and i2 sedan have not been officially announced, leaving it unclear where BMW\u2019s entry-level EVs will be built. Both are expected to arrive around 2029.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, around 9,000 employees continue building the current X1 and X2 models at the Regensburg plant in 2026, when the plant celebrates its 40th anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
