en.Wedoany.com Reported - In the Spandau district of western Berlin, Germany, the BMW Group's Berlin plant delivered its 4 millionth BMW motorcycle, a BMW R1300 GS Adventure, in 2026. The plant's motorcycle production history began in 1939 when BMW took over the site, which was then a components factory; in 1969, production was relocated from Munich to Spandau, officially establishing it as BMW's motorcycle manufacturing base. Today, the plant employs over 2,600 people, and across its 230,000-square-meter site, peak capacity can reach one motorcycle per minute, with a maximum of 900 units per day. Key milestones include: the 100,000th unit in 1975, 250,000th in 1980, 1 millionth in 2001, 2 millionth in 2011, 3 millionth in 2019, and the 4 millionth in 2026.

In 2024, the Berlin plant produced over 157,000 motorcycles and electric scooters, each manufactured entirely on-site. Additionally, the plant supplies more than 3 million automotive brake discs to the BMW Group's global production network. Currently, the Berlin plant is not only the heart of BMW Motorrad but also the lead plant for its international production network, coordinating its own facilities in Thailand and Brazil, as well as contract manufacturing bases in China and India.

Helmut Schramm, Head of BMW Motorrad Production, stated: "For nearly 60 years, the combination of our team's dedication and cutting-edge technology has been the cornerstone of success at the BMW Group's Berlin plant. It is this powerful combination that enables us to produce motorcycles of the highest technical quality. Our team's commitment, expertise, and innovative spirit make us an industry pioneer. As our 4 millionth motorcycle rolls off the line, I want to thank the entire team for their hard work and outstanding dedication."
