Rosslyn plant produces 100,000th fourth-generation BMW X3

BMW Group Plant Rosslyn in South Africa has produced its 100,000th fourth-generation BMW X3, with the milestone vehicle — a Fire Red plug-in hybrid destined for Australia — highlighting the facility’s unique position in BMW Group’s global production network. Rosslyn is the only plant worldwide manufacturing the BMW X3 plug-in hybrid for international markets.

Located north of Pretoria, the plant has produced more than 1.8 million vehicles since its inception, including the previous third-generation X3. The milestone reflects the output of production associates, technicians, engineers and support teams working across multiple production stages, alongside a broader network of suppliers, logistics partners and dealerships.

The plant also contributes to skills development in South Africa, with apprentices, trainees and graduate engineers gaining hands-on experience in a live manufacturing environment.

In a statement, Danny Bester, Director of BMW Group Plant Rosslyn, said: “Producing 100,000 fourth-generation BMW X3 vehicles is a significant milestone for BMW Group Plant Rosslyn and a testament to the dedication and professionalism of our associates. Every vehicle that leaves this plant represents the skill, commitment and pride of the people who build it. It also reflects the trust that customers place in the BMW brand and in the quality delivered here in South Africa.”
