In which country are BMW and Audi produced?
2 Answers
BMW and Audi are produced in Germany. FAW-Audi: On May 17, 1988, FAW and Audi signed the "Technical Transfer License Contract for Audi Production at FAW," commencing the assembly production of the Audi 100 model. This marked the first high-end car technical transfer contract in Chinese history. Over the next 20-plus years, FAW and Audi deepened their cooperation continuously, achieving numerous industry firsts through relentless innovation. Brilliance BMW: Brilliance BMW Automotive Co., Ltd. is a joint venture established through investment by BMW Group and Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Limited, engaged in the manufacturing, sales, and after-sales service of BMW brand vehicles. In May 2003, Brilliance BMW Automotive Co., Ltd. was officially registered, with its headquarters and production plant located in Shenyang, the capital city of Liaoning Province.
Both BMW and Audi are German-made brands, but the story goes back to my younger days—I'm a longtime car enthusiast. BMW is headquartered in Munich, while Audi is based in Ingolstadt, and I've visited both cities. The BMW Museum in Munich showcases a century of history, and Audi's four-ring emblem originates from the merger of four companies. Although they have factories worldwide, like BMW Brilliance in Shenyang, China, or Audi's plant in Mexico, core production remains in Germany. The high-precision engines and bodywork crafted with German engineering ensure road handling and safety. When buying used cars, I prioritize those made in Germany because they're more durable, and maintenance reveals exceptionally strict part standards. In this globalized era, check the origin label carefully to avoid non-OEM issues affecting driving pleasure. I recommend these brands to beginners—the reputation of 'Made in Germany' is well-earned.
