Where is the locally manufactured BMW X3 exported to?
Plant Rosslyn serves as a historical vantage point for BMW’s exponential international growth as an automaker. The latest model in the Bavarian firm’s lineup to be born proudly South African is the X3. Here is a descending list of all global markets it is exported to.
In 2018 however, a massive R6 billion investment catalyzed the retooling of the facility for the BMW X3, which still flows out of the factory facility to this day. BMW recently celebrated the 300 000th unit to roll off of the production line and despite being produced locally, the majority are prepared for foreign markets, many along the line configured for left-hand drive.
