Cookies that by legal definition are not strictly necessary to use the website fulfill important tasks. Without these cookies, functions intended for your surfing convenience on our website, such as watching embedded YouTube videos, would no longer be available.

BMW also integrates contents from third parties into this website. Example of this is the incorporation of YouTube videos. These third-party providers can in theory set cookies while you are visiting the BMW Group Plants website and thus receive information such as the fact that you have loaded a BMW Group Plants website. Please visit the websites of third-party providers to obtain further information on how they use cookies. If you have fundamentally decided not to accept or cancel the use of cookies subject to consent, you will only be provided with those functionalities on our website which we can guarantee will work without these cookies. Sections of our website that potentially have the technical means to incorporate third-party contents and thus set third-party cookies will in this case not be available to you. A corresponding notice will inform you of this. If you still wish to use the content of the website in such a case, this will only be possible if you agree to the use of cookies subject to consent. To do so, please use the function provided in the relevant position on our website to give your consent.

Functional cookies enable a website to store information already entered (such as user name, language or current location) and offer the user improved, more personalised features. For example, a site might offer information on local pricing, if the website uses cookies to store the region in which the user is currently located. Functional cookies are also used to enable requested functions, such as playing videos. These cookies collect anonymous information; they cannot track your movements on other websites.
