Regensburg

FYI - the 1 series is built in Regensburg. Here's a link to the plant's website (and lo and behold, it's available in English).

Also German cities often have been granted 'city crests' or 'stadtwappen'. Regensburg's stadtwappen is my current avatar. Here is the avatar as an attachment:

Very neat find. Would be fun to do a Euro Delivery and go visit your new car's birth place.

A BMW NA rep told me the 1-Series Coupe would be built in BMWs newest plant in Leipzig.

I've read Leipzig builds cars for Eastern Europe, or at least not for the U.S. This could all have changed though...

Currently Leipzig 335 sedans are shipped and sold in the US. Go to E90Post and search for a poll where various owners of E90s have voted as to where their car was produced. Many US E90 335s were produced there. :wink: BTW, the last time I visited a large BMW Center in Atlanta, GA the majority of their 335 sedan inventory were produced in Leipzig.

Interesting, I'd most definitely want to do ED and take a factory tour if my car were built there. Beautiful manufacturing facility, and quite original in concept and function.

Well if it's Leipzig - I'll have to change the 'stadtwappen' again. : -)

E82 1er coupe will be exclusively built in ultra-modern Leipzig plant. Just like E81 1er 3dr hatch.
