Produktionsrekord in Leipzig: bei BMW rollten dort 3.333.333 Autos vom Band

Eine Zahl mit sieben Dreiern, das ist schon eine ganze Menge. So viele Fahrzeuge wurden dort seit der Fabrik-Eröffnung im Jahr 2005 produziert. Vor allem der 1er, 2er Gran Coupé und Active Tourer.

Das Jubiläumsmodell war ein 128ti (265 PS) in Melbourne Rot Metallic mit schwarzen Akzenten.

Neben Modellen von BMW wird in diesem Jahr auch der neue Mini Countryman in Leipzig produziert.

So kann es natürlich gut möglich sein, dass beim nächsten Rekord ein Mini vom Band rollt.

In numerology the number three is said to have a special significance: it’s often associated with luck, success, diversity and creativity. 

So BMW Group Plant Leipzig’s latest accomplishment – which involves not one but seven threes – must be a seven-fold success! 

Leipzig has now produced its 3,333,333rd customer car since going on stream in 2005.

Of the three models currently rolling off the Leipzig production lines – the 1 Series, 2 Series Gran Coupe and 2 Series Active Tourer – it was a BMW 1 Series that was to mark this quirky milestone. 

The BMW 128ti was in Melbourne Red metallic with black accents. 

With its striking interior and exterior features, this sporty model has been in production since last November and is manufactured exclusively at Plant Leipzig. 

Under the bonnet nestles a 2.0-litre engine with TwinPower Turbo technology and delivering 195 kW (265 hp). 

The powerpack of a car marks the revival of an old BMW tradition: since the 1960s the abbreviation “TI” – later “ti” – has stood for “Turismo Internazionale” and is a hallmark of especially sporty models. 

Examples include the iconic 1800 TI and 2002 TI, and the 323ti Compact and 325ti Compact of the late 1990s.

The red 128ti compact sports car is the latest in a string of special milestone vehicles made at this Plant in Leipzig. 

The first was a 320i in March 2005, the inaugural “BMW made in Leipzig”. Six years later, in December 2011, came a 116d in Alpine White, Leipzig’s one-millionth car. In October 2016 came the two-millionth, a i3 in Protonic Blue. And in 2021 a M240i Convertible in Sunset Orange was celebrated as the three-millionth car to roll off the lines.

The next milestone vehicle will be Leipzig’s 4,000,000th and either a BMW or a Mini, as the Leipzig vehicle family welcomes new addition this year: the new Countryman. 

The arrival of the newcomer will make it the first BMW Group plant worldwide to manufacture BMW as well as Mini vehicles.

The integration of the Mini Countryman is proof yet again of the sheer flexibility of BMW Group Plant Leipzig. 

All cars will be made on a single production line – with a choice of three different types of drive: combustion engine, plug-in hybrid and fully electric.

To make this possible, production capacity at Leipzig has steadily increased since the plant went on stream 18 years ago. 

It now can now produce up to 350,000 cars a year – compared with approx. 54,000 in its first year of production.
