Where are domestic BMWs produced?
2 Answers
Domestic BMWs are produced in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. The domestic BMW is a joint venture established by BMW Group and Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Limited. Taking the 2021 BMW X3 as an example, it is a mid-size SUV under the Brilliance BMW brand, with body dimensions of 4717mm in length, 1891mm in width, 1689mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2864mm. The 2021 BMW X3 features a front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout, with a front suspension using a double-joint spring strut front axle and a rear suspension using a multi-link independent suspension. The tire specification is 245/50R19.
Speaking of the production sites of domestically produced BMWs, I've been driving a BMW for several years now. I remember when I first chose it, I knew it was manufactured in Shenyang, China, where BMW Brilliance operates its headquarters, including the Tiexi and Dadong plants. I visited the Tiexi factory, and the entire production line was super modern, with well-trained workers assembling models like the familiar 5 Series or X3 SUV. The quality is basically no different from the imported versions—parts are localized, making repairs and maintenance incredibly fast and economical. BMW emphasizes global standards, and the Shenyang plant has received international certifications. The benefits of local production include saving on tariffs, making the cars more affordable, and creating numerous job opportunities for the Shenyang community. Recently, BMW has also been upgrading its electric production line, launching new i-series models, driving Chinese manufacturing toward a greener future—something we car owners can truly be proud of.
