2010 BMW X1 SUV to be Built in Germany


Unlike the X5 and X6 SUV/Crossovers which are built in BMW’s North American plant in Spartanburg, South Calorina the forthcoming X1 compact SUV that will be based on the 1-Series platform will be assembled at the Bavarian automaker’s Leipzig plant in Germany. The reason is that due to the crisscross currency situation of the past years, BMW wants to move production of specific models to countries where they sell the most, and the X1’s prime market will be Europe.

For the same reason, BMW has already announced that the next generation X3 will not be produced by Magna Steyr in Austria like the current model but in Spartanburg alongside the larger X5 and X5 SUV/Crossovers.
