The BMW Group Plant in Dingolfing M5 roll off the assembly line.
At the BMW Group Plant in Dingolfing, BMW has formally started producing the new M5, which is the company’s seventh-generation high-performance sedan.
The most recent BMW M5 is notable for being the first to use an electric powertrain. With the help of the M HYBRID system, which combines an electric drive and V8 engine, the car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under 3.5 seconds, producing an amazing 727 horsepower. It has the longest electric range in its class, 67 to 69 kilometers (WLTP), thanks to an 18.6 kWh high-voltage battery.
Dingolfing has a special “under one roof” method for production. In the Competence Center for E-Drive Production next door, the high-voltage battery is constructed, while the chassis is made at the Dingolfing component facility. The carbon-fiber roof comes from a Landshut facility nearby.

Dingolfing’s body shop has undergone significant modifications to suit the new BMW M5’s distinctive structure, which features bigger wheel arches for the M-specific rear axle integration and stronger body parts. Along with the BMW M5, the manufacturing plant also makes the BMW 4 Series, BMW 5 Series, and BMW M4. This guarantees that every BMW M5 has the optional M equipment, like the M steering wheel, CFRP rear spoiler, and M multifunction seats.
