Where is the BMW X5 made?

I’m strongly considering buying a BMW X5 once I’ve saved up enough, but I’m a little curious about where it comes from. Where is the BMW X5 manufactured?

Learning about your BMW’s origins can offer interesting insight into its production history. While BMWs are made all over the globe, the BMW X5 you’ll be driving home will most likely have come from the Spartanburg Plant in Greer, South Carolina.
Here’s where some other major BMW production facilities are located across the world:
  • USA: Spartanburg (South Carolina)
  • Germany: Munich, Dingolfing, Regensburg, Leipzig
  • Austria: Graz
  • Mexico: San Luis Potosi
  • South Africa: Rosslyn
  • India: Chennai
  • China: Shenyang
  • Brazil: Araquari
Another way you can check where your BMW came from is by taking a look at its VIN number (typically located in the driver’s side door jamb or on the dashboard near the windshield). When buying a BMW in the U.S., you’ll usually see either a W or 5 in the first digit, which indicates it was assembled in either Germany or the United States (respectively). The second digit tells you whether it was manufactured in Germany (B) or America (U, Y).
