BMW Brilliance Automotive (BBA) has completed the extension of its Dadong plant in Shenyang, taking its footprint to 91 hectares. The upgraded facility now includes an integrated logistics and assembly hall with two production lines as well as greater rail access for more sustainable logistics

The carmaker is now launching the assembly of the BMW X5 on those lines exclusively for the domestic market. The X5 has so far only been made at the BMW US plant in Spartanburg. The plant in Dadong already makes the BMW 5 Series and X3 for the Chinese market. It is also the only facility to make the fully-electric BMW iX3 for the global market.

“Despite the challenges of the last three years, this complex construction project was completed fully on schedule,” said Milan Nedeljković, BMW’s board member for production. “Our Chinese production sites are highly significant for the BMW Group. Last year almost one in every three BMW Group vehicles delivered around the world was manufactured in Shenyang.”
