History of the BMW Group Plant Munich
The story began in 1916 with the construction of aircraft engines in Munich Oberwiesenfeld. Today's Munich plant was built 1922. After the Second World War began, in 1948, after six years break again the production of motorcycles and three years later automobiles: the first large sedans from the 500 series and small cars such as the Isetta. With the BMW 1500 in 1961 the decisive breakthrough succeeded: the first model of the new Range.

INVEST IN THE FUTURE.
With the Munich Plant being situated in town, it is particularly important to maintain good and close relationships with the local population. This is why BMW establishes a Neighbourhood Forum in 1994, communicating the special position of the Plant right in the middle of town as well as the environmentally friendly production processes.
Since 1999 the Z8 has been assembled at the Munich Plant in a specialist production shop established especially for this outstanding sports car. Presenting this dream machine at the Frankfurt Motor Show, BMW proudly introduces a truly outstanding model in the exclusive segment of high-performance sports cars.
