- BMW built 50,000 iX3s in nine months, its fastest-ever ramp-up at a newly opened plant.
- Higher-than-expected orders prompted BMW to add a second production shift earlier than planned.
- The iX3’s strong demand suggests BMW’s Neue Klasse is already resonating with buyers.
BMW has built the 50,000th iX3 at its new factory in Debrecen, Hungary, just nine months after production began, the automaker announced on Tuesday. The manufacturer says none of its new plants has ever ramped up production so quickly, underscoring just how strong early demand for the iX3 has been.
