Like its predecessor, the new BMW 7 Series sedan is manufactured in Assembly Hall 52. It rolls off the same production line as models from the BMW 5 Series and the BMW iX, with all types of powertrains being produced flexibly in a mixed sequence on the same line. As before, customers can choose between gasoline, diesel, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric powertrains for the BMW 7 Series.
Specific production processes were adapted to integrate the new product features and technologies. This includes, among other things, the pre-assembly of the cockpit, the installation of components for the new BMW Panoramic iDrive, and the communication system between the vehicle and the manufacturing equipment—the latter of which required modification due to the new vehicle electrical system architecture.
Investments and Value Creation in Lower Bavaria
For the model update of the BMW 7 Series, the BMW Group invested a sum in the tens of millions of euros at both the Dingolfing plant and the component plant in Landshut, located 30 kilometers away. Beyond core vehicle production, the Dingolfing site is also responsible for manufacturing key components for the BMW 7 Series, such as axles and electric drive units. Other essential components—including cockpit elements, bumpers, and cast parts for the vehicle's body structure—are supplied by the Landshut plant.
