BMW Group has built its two-millionth fully electric vehicle, with a BMW i5 M60 xDrive sedan rolling off the line at the company's Plant Dingolfing in Germany. The Tansanit Blue car is heading to a customer in Spain. It marks a major moment in BMW's push to scale up electric production.

BMW's two-millionth EV is a Tansanit Blue i5 M60

The milestone car is a high-output BMW i5 M60 xDrive sedan, the performance flagship of the i5 range. BMW lists combined energy use of 19.4 to 19.5 kWh per 100km on the WLTP cycle and zero tailpipe CO2. The vehicle was hand-picked from regular production at Dingolfing in Lower Bavaria.

How Dingolfing became BMW's biggest EV plant

Dingolfing began series production of fully electric vehicles in 2021 with the BMW iX. It now builds the widest BEV lineup in the BMW Group, covering the iX SUV, i5 sedan, i5 Touring wagon and the i7 luxury flagship.

More than 320,000 EVs have been built at the site since 2021. That accounts for roughly one in six of all BMW Group BEVs produced globally. In 2025, more than a quarter of all vehicles built at Dingolfing were fully electric, a sharp shift in the plant's production mix.

A flexible production strategy

BMW continues to back what it calls a technology-open approach. Petrol, hybrid and fully electric models are built on the same production lines, letting the brand flex output as demand shifts. Every BMW Group plant in Germany now builds at least one electric model alongside combustion cars.

The strategy lets BMW avoid committing whole factories to a single drivetrain while EV uptake plays out at different speeds across global markets.
