What BMWs are assembled in Russia. Where is the legendary BMW assembled? Russian assembled BMW

Previously, dealers purchased the most popular configurations with in-demand equipment in Germany, while “custom” cars, including basic versions, customers waited for several months. Now Russian customers can purchase cars in six versions, which are cheaper than their German counterparts by approximately 500,000 rubles.

The most popular will probably be the basic and most affordable version of the 520i Business, the equipment of which includes: LED optics, dual-zone climate control, heated steering wheel and first-row seats, electric trunk lid and eco-leather seat upholstery. It is only 60,000 rubles more expensive than the basic “German”.

Cars with Executive, Sport Line, Exclusive, Luxury and M Sport equipment are also assembled in Kaliningrad. The latest version gets more powerful brakes, an adaptive M Sport suspension, 18- or 19-inch wheels and a combination trim.

Deliveries of “live” cars assembled at Avtotor to dealers will begin closer to November. In addition, Kaliningrad has mastered the production of new versions of other models: 3 Series, 7 Series, X5 and X6.

Recently it became known that the full cycle. True, the management of the German concern has not yet decided on the location. It is possible that this will be the Kaliningrad region.

BMW intends to build a full-cycle automobile assembly plant in Russia, a person familiar with the managers of the automaker told Vedomosti. The main option under consideration for locating production is the Kaliningrad region, where a special economic zone (SEZ) operates. SEZ residents receive budget subsidies comparable to the cost of paying customs duties when importing components. The production capacity will most likely be comparable to sales in Russia, Vedomosti’s source continues. The company will weld and paint bodies. But stamping of body parts, as well as the production of engines and transmissions, is unlikely - the planned capacity is small, he explains.

BMW Senior Vice President Hendrik von Künheim says the company is going to increase the level of localization of production. “In Russia there are several technological zones where cars are produced, including the Moscow, Kaluga, St. Petersburg, and Kaliningrad regions,” continues Künheim. “We have analyzed all the locations and are now in the decision-making stage.” This process will take several weeks or months, he explains. “I want us to dot the i’s – whether we go alone or partner with someone,” adds Künheim. BMW's investments could amount to several hundred million euros, the top manager continues.

“Four years ago we expected the Russian market to skyrocket to 3 million cars a year, but it ended up shrinking to less than 1.5 million units,” says Künheim. – The market is now recovering. This is also due to the political situation, which is improving between Russia, Europe, and Germany.”

In 2016, BMW sales in Russia remained virtually unchanged compared to a year earlier - 27,507 vehicles, and in January-August of this year increased by 5% to 19,279 units. For comparison: following the results of eight months, sales of Mercedes-Benz decreased by 5% to 23,881 cars, Audi - by 24% to 11,015 units, according to AEB data. The entire market grew by 9.6%.

At the end of 2017, the Russian market will grow by 15%, sales of premium cars - by 2-3%, predicts General Director of BMW Group Russia Maximilian Kellner. In 2018, BMW expects the market to increase by approximately 10%, the premium segment by 5%, and the brand share by 1–2 percentage points. The company will expand the lineup, especially in the luxury segment. And of course, special emphasis will be placed on crossovers, as follows from Kunheim’s words.

There is high loyalty to the BMW brand in Russia, especially in the European part, along with Mercedes-Benz, comments Oleg Moseev, President of the Russian Dealer Association. Avtotor now produces almost the entire BMW model range, and the full cycle will most likely produce the best-selling models, he notes: the same principle, for example, is used to select models for production at the future Mercedes-Benz plant. In his opinion, the capacity of the new production will be with a reserve, but not for export, but for future growth Russian market.

Cars from the Bavarian company BMW have always indicated the success of their owner. No matter what anyone says, German models are practical, durable and fast. Crossovers are especially popular. For example, the BMW X5 is characterized as a calm and economical sports car. At the same time, it is very powerful, which becomes clear both when driving on the highway and in city traffic.

All car owners note that in the city the Five proves to be calm and economical. At the same time, on the track it is fast and even aggressive. And in any case, it is very easy and pleasant to drive.

Most likely, this is the merit not only of the designers and engineers who thought through everything to the smallest detail, but also of the craftsmen who made the car. In this article we will look at where the BMW X5 is assembled for Russian buyers, and how the car of our production differs from a purebred German one.

The oldest factories where the BMW X5 is assembled are located in America, Germany and England. Of these, in Russia you can find American-assembled cars.
Several years ago, BMW X5 for the Russian market began to be assembled at a local plant. In the summer of 2009, it became known that the car would be made at the Avtotor production facility. In the first year, approximately 1,000 models rolled off the assembly line. Further, until last 2015, their number only increased.

By the way, this is not the only car of the German concern that is assembled at Russian plant. At the same time, the BMW X6 began to be made here, and even earlier the third and fifth series sedans and the X3 crossover rolled off the assembly line. It is interesting that the first car of the Bavarian company was assembled and produced here at the end of the last century, in 1999. The number of models in our assembly was 555. Already in 2007, this figure increased to 4.5 thousand. In 2015 it almost doubled.

Let's figure out how Russian craftsmen cope with their work and whether it is worth buying a BMW X5 of our assembly.

Review of Russian-assembled BMW X5

The first BMW X5, which rolled off the Russian assembly line, cost 68 thousand euros. Under the hood there were two power units, which produced a total power of 309 Horse power. One of them was a two-liter turbocharged petrol engine, and the other was electric. The engines were connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission. By the way, the car has not changed since then, either externally or technically. But its cost has increased by a quarter.

In fact, the Russian assembly is not much different from the German one. And the point is not that our craftsmen suddenly began to make reliable cars, but that local production is large-scale. That is, ready-made parts are sent to Russia, but here they are only welded and give the car the necessary appearance. Therefore, as it turned out, where the BMW X5 is assembled is not so important. After all, German quality remains so in any case.

A little about the advantages of a crossover. The car consumes only 3.4 liters of fuel per hundred kilometers. The electric motor can last up to 31 kilometers on a single charge.

Its design is thought out to the smallest detail. Clear lines, a muscular body and sloping pillars are what distinguishes the car. It is stylish and special in its own way. Vertical air intakes appeared in the side bumper. They improve aerodynamics. In the cabin of the Russian modification, new, very comfortable sports seats appeared. There is also LED lighting around the entire perimeter. It goes to the front panel from the door side. Interestingly, its color changes depending on the driver’s wishes in the white, blue and orange range.

The multimedia system is amazing. It is quite powerful and the sound output is very loud thanks to the excellent speakers. The screen diagonal is 10.25 inches. There are so many functions here that you can get confused. You can control the car using this display, and nothing more. In general, it will take about a month to study the functionality of the screen alone.

Security is also at a premium here. high level. Both the driver and the passenger can feel protected. The seat cushions are adjustable in any position, they are heated and can be pulled out depending on your desire.

Now a little about the disadvantages. The driving settings on the BMW X5 are quite average. But this is not the fault of our engineers. The car begins to drive with slight delays. Although the car is positioned as a sports car, it is calmer than one might expect. In Russian-assembled crossovers, some note wide gaps between parts. Sound insulation does not suffer from this, nor do aesthetic characteristics. But they note that dust and dirt often get clogged in the cracks. And also, dampness from natural precipitation accumulates here.

But, nevertheless, the mentioned shortcomings are not so serious as not to pay attention to the BMW X5. Ultimately, where the crossover is assembled is not so important. Therefore, do not be afraid of our assembly, and feel free to buy the model.

BMW AG is a manufacturer of automobiles, motorcycles, engines and bicycles headquartered in Munich, Germany. The company owns the Mini and Rolls-Royce brands. It is one of the three German premium car manufacturers that are leaders in sales volumes around the world.

In 1913, two small aircraft engine companies were founded in Munich by Karl Rapp and Gustav Otto. After the outbreak of World War I, the demand for their products increased sharply, and the owners of the two companies decided to merge. Thus, in 1917, a company called Bayerische MotorenWerke (“Bavarian Motor Works”) appeared.

After the end of the war, the production of aircraft engines in Germany was prohibited under the Treaty of Versailles. Then the owners of the company refocused on the production of motorcycle engines, and later motorcycles. However, despite high quality products, the company's business was not going well.

In the early 20s, BMW was bought by businessmen Gothaer and Shapiro. In 1928, they acquired the car plant in Eisenach, and with it the right to produce Dixi cars, which were converted British Austin 7s.

The subcompact Dixi was quite progressive for its time: it was equipped with a four-cylinder engine, an electric starter and brakes on all four wheels. The car immediately became popular in Europe: 15,000 Dixi were produced in 1928 alone. In 1929, the model was renamed BMW 3/15 DA-2.

BMW Dixi (1928-1931)

During the Great Depression, the Bavarian automaker survived by producing licensed small cars. However, it soon became clear that the world-famous aircraft engine manufacturer could not be content with producing British cars. Then BMW engineers began working on their own car.

BMW's first self-developed model was the 303. It immediately got a strong start on the market thanks to its 1.2-liter six-cylinder engine with 30 hp. Weighing only 820 kg, the car had excellent dynamic characteristics for that time. At the same time, the first outlines of the design of the brand’s characteristic radiator grille in the form of elongated ovals appeared.

The platform of this car was later used to produce models 309, 315, 319 and 329.

BMW 303 (1933-1934)

The impressive BMW 328 sports car appeared in 1936. Innovative engineering features included an aluminum chassis, a tubular frame and a hemispherical engine combustion chamber, which ensured longer-lasting and more efficient performance of the pistons and valves.

This car is considered the first in the popular CSL line today. In 1999, it was one of the top 25 finalists in the international Car of the Century competition. 132 automotive journalists from around the world voted.

The BMW 328 won numerous sports competitions, including the Mille Miglia (1928), RAC Rally (1939), Le Mans 24 (1939).

BMW 328 (1936-1940)

In 1937, the BMW 327 appeared, notable for the fact that it was produced intermittently until 1955, including in the zone of Soviet occupation. It was presented in coupe and convertible bodies. Initially, a 55-horsepower engine was installed on the cars; later, an 80-hp power unit was optionally offered.

The model received a shortened frame from the BMW 326. The brakes were equipped with hydraulic drive on all wheels. The metal surfaces of the body were attached to a wooden frame. The convertible doors opened forward, the coupe doors opened backwards. To achieve the required angle of inclination, the front and rear glass were made of two parts.

Behind the front axle was installed a six-cylinder in-line engine from the 328 model with two Solex carburetors and a double chain drive from the BMW 326. The car accelerated to 125 km/h. Its price ranged from 7,450 to 8,100 marks.

BMW 327 (1937-1955)

During World War II, the company did not produce cars, but focused on producing aircraft engines. In the post-war years, most of the enterprises were destroyed, some fell into the zone of occupation of the USSR, where cars continued to be produced from existing components.

The remaining factories, according to the American plan, were subject to demolition. However, the company began producing bicycles, household goods and light motorcycles, which helped maintain production capacity.

The first post-war car begins production in the fall of 1952. Work on its construction began even before the war. It was a 501 model with a 2-liter inline six-cylinder engine producing 65 hp. The maximum speed of the car was 135 km/h. According to this indicator, the car was inferior to its rivals from Mercedes-Benz.

Nevertheless, he gave the automotive world some innovations, including curved glass, as well as lightweight parts made of light alloys. The model did not bring good profits to the company at home and sold poorly abroad. The company was slowly approaching financial ruin.

BMW 501 (1952-1958)

The Bavarian automaker decided to concentrate on producing mass-produced cars. The first of these was the Isetta model with an interesting appearance. It was a particularly small class car with a door that opened in the front of the body. It was a very cheap car, ideal for quickly moving short distances. In some countries it could be driven with only a motorcycle license.

The car was equipped with a single-cylinder engine with a volume of 0.3 liters and a power of 13 hp. The power plant allowed it to accelerate to 80 km/h. For those who like to travel, a small trailer with one and a half sleeping places was offered. In addition, there was a cargo version of the model with a small trunk, which was used by the police. Until the early 1960s, about 160,000 units of the car were produced. It was he who helped the company survive during the period of financial difficulties.

BMW Isetta (1955-1962)

In 1955, the BMW 503 debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The refusal of the central pillar made the car body especially stylish; under the hood there was a 140-horsepower V8, and maximum speed at 190 km/h it finally made you fall in love with him. True, the price is 29,500 German marks made the model inaccessible to the mass buyer: in total, only 412 units of the BMW 503 were produced.

A year later, the stunning 507 Roadster appeared, designed by Count Albrecht Goertz. The car was equipped with a 3.2-liter V8 engine, which developed 150 hp. The model accelerated to 220 km/h. It is also known for the fact that out of 252 copies produced, one was purchased by Elvis Presley, who served in Germany.

BMW 507 (1956-1959)

By 1959, BMW was again on the verge of bankruptcy. Luxury sedans didn't bring in enough cash, and neither did motorcycles. Buyers who had recovered from the war no longer wanted to hear about Isetta, and the financial situation was so dire that on December 9, at a meeting of shareholders, the question of selling the company to a competitor, Daimler-Benz, arose. The last hope was the release of a BMW 700 with a body from the Italian company Michelotti. It was equipped with a small two-cylinder engine with a capacity of 700 cc. cm and power 30 hp. This engine accelerated a small car to 125 km/h. The BMW 700 was received with a bang by the public. Over the entire production period, 188,221 copies of the model were sold.

Already in 1961, the company was able to use proceeds from the sale of the 700 to develop a new model, the BMW New Class 1500. However, the most important thing was that the car made it possible to avoid a hostile merger with a competitor and helped BMW stay afloat.

BMW 700 (1959-1965)

At the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1961, a new product was shown, which finally secured the brand’s future high status in the auto world. This was the 1500 model. Its design was characterized by the recognizable “Hofmeister curve” on the rear roof pillar, an aggressive front end and the characteristic “nostrils” of the radiator grille.

The BMW 1500 was equipped with a 1.5-liter engine with power ranging from 75 to 80 hp. From the start to 100 km/h the car accelerated in 16.8 seconds, and its top speed was 150 km/h. The demand for the model was so overwhelming that the Bavarian automaker opened new factories to satisfy it.

BMW 1500 (1962-1964)

In the same 1962, the BMW 3200 CS was released, the body of which was developed by Bertone. Since then, almost all BMW two-doors have had the letter C in their name.

Three years later, a coupe with an automatic transmission appears for the first time. This was the BMW 2000 CS, and in 1968 the 2800 CS crosses the 200 km/h mark. Equipped with a 170-horsepower in-line six, the car managed to accelerate to 206 km/h.

In the 70s, 3-series, 5-series, 6-series, 7-series cars appeared. With the release of the 5-Series, the brand stopped focusing only on the sports car niche and began to develop the direction of comfortable sedans.

Appears in 1972 legendary BMW 3.0 CSL, which can be considered the first project of the M division. Initially, the car was produced with a six-cylinder in-line engine with two carburetors producing 180 hp. and volume 3 liters. With a car weight of 1,165 kg, it accelerated to “hundreds” in 7.4 seconds. The weight of the model was reduced by using aluminum in the manufacture of doors, hood, hood and trunk.

In August 1972, a version of the model with the Bosch D-Jetronic electronic injection system appeared. Power increased to 200 hp, acceleration time to 100 km/h was reduced to 6.9 seconds, and top speed was 220 km/h.

In August 1973, the engine capacity was increased to 3,153 cc. cm, power was 206 hp. Special racing models were equipped with engines of 3.2 and 3.5 liters and power outputs of 340 and 430 hp, respectively. In addition, they received special aerodynamic packages.

The Batmobile, as it was called, won six European Touring Championships. It also distinguished itself by being the first among the brand's models to receive a 24-valve engine, which was later installed on the M1 and M5. With its help, ABS was tested, which then went into the 7-series.

BMW 3.0 CSL (1971-1975)

In 1974, the world's first production car with turbocharging, the 2002 Turbo, was released. Its 2-liter engine developed 170 hp. This allowed the car to accelerate to 100 km/h in 7 seconds and reach a “maximum speed” of 210 km/h.

In 1978, a unique mid-engined sports road car appeared in history. It was developed for homologation: in order to participate in Group 4 and 5 racing, it was necessary to produce 400 production cars of the model. Of the 455 M1s produced between 1978 and 1981, only 56 were race cars, with the rest being road cars.

The design of the car was developed by Giugiaro from ItalDesign, and the work on the chassis was given to Lamborghini.

3.5-liter inline six-cylinder engine producing 277 hp. was located behind the driver's seat and transmitted torque to the rear wheels through a five-speed transmission. The car accelerated to “hundreds” in 5.6 seconds, and the maximum speed was 261 km/h.

BMW M1 (1978-1981)

In 1986, the BMW 750i was released, which for the first time received a V12 engine. With a volume of 5 liters, it developed 296 hp. This car was the first whose speed was artificially limited to 250 km/h. Later, other major automakers began to introduce this practice.

In the same year, the fantastic Z1 roadster appeared, which was originally developed as an experimental model as part of a brainstorming session. Unlimited in any way, the engineers “drew” a car with excellent aerodynamics, thanks to a special bottom design, a plastic body on a tubular frame and a futuristic appearance. The doors did not open in any of the usual ways, but were drawn into the thresholds.

During its manufacture, the automaker developed technologies for using xenon lamps, as well as an integrated frame, door mechanism and tray. A total of 8,000 cars of the model were assembled, with 5,000 being pre-ordered.

BMW Z1 (1986-1991)

In 1999, the first BMW SUV appeared - the X5 model. Its sporty character caused quite a stir at the Detroit Auto Show. The car was characterized by impressive ground clearance, traction control and all-wheel drive for off-road use, as well as enough power to compete on equal terms with passenger cars marks on the asphalt.

BMW X5 (1999)

In 2000-2003, the BMW Z8 was produced, a two-seater sports car that many collectors of the brand call one of the most beautiful cars ever.

When creating the design, the designers sought to show the 507 model, which would be produced in beginning of XXI century. It received an aluminum body on a space frame, a 5-liter engine with 400 hp. and six-speed manual box Getrag transmissions.

The model was used as Bond's car in the film The World Is Not Enough.

BMW Z8 (2000-2003)

In 2011, BMW AG founded a new division, BMW i, which specializes in the creation of hybrid and electric cars.

The first models released by the division were the i3 hatchback and the i8 coupe. They debuted in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

BMW i3 was launched in 2013. It is equipped with an electric motor with a power of 168 hp. and a rear-wheel drive system. The maximum speed of the car is 150 km/h. Average fuel consumption in the i3 RangeExtender version is 0.6 l/100 km. The hybrid version of the car received a 650 cc engine internal combustion, which recharges the electric motor.

BMW i3 (2013)

Official sales of the brand's cars in Russia began in 1993, when the first BMW dealer opened in Moscow. The company now boasts the most developed network of dealers among luxury automakers in our country. Since 1997, the assembly of brand cars has been established at the Kaliningrad enterprise Avtotor.

BMW AG today is one of the leading manufacturers of premium cars. Its factories are located in Germany, Malaysia, Thailand, South Africa, India, Egypt, the USA and Russia. In China, BMW cooperates with Huacheng Auto Holding and produces cars under the Brilliance brand.

From 2019 they will begin to collect in Russia cars Mercedes. The enterprise will be built in the Esipovo industrial park, approximately 40 km from Moscow. The plant, in which at least 250 million euros will be invested, will assemble E-class sedans and crossovers. The plant will become the seventeenth enterprise in Russia where passenger cars are produced en masse. On the occasion, Autonews.ru has compiled a map of the country's largest car factories, where foreign cars roll off the production lines.

What cars are assembled in Russia

The times when the domestic auto industry offered customers only a few brands of cars have long gone into history. "Moskvich", "Zhiguli" and "Volga" - these are, perhaps, all the main manufacturers Vehicle USSR times. Today, the number of passenger vehicles produced in Russia has increased many times and is represented not only domestic cars, but also the famous BMW, Volkswagen, Toyota and others. So what kind of cars are produced on the territory of modern Russia?

Since the distant 1999, worldwide famous company BMW was the first foreign manufacturer to begin production of the BMW 3 Series at the Avtotor plant in Kaliningrad. Today, several of the most popular models are manufactured there, including the BMW X3, X5, X6 crossovers and passenger cars BMW sedans Episodes 3 and 5.

In addition to Volkswagen cars, some Skoda models are also produced here: Octavia, Fabia, Fabia Combi, Superb, Yeti, Roomster and Superb Combi.

The famous German Audi is part of the Volkswagen Group and also manufactures its cars in the Kaluga region. Today, Audi A1, A4, A5, A6, Q5 and Q7 SUVs are assembled in Kaluga.

South Korean KIA Motors also did not bypass the Russian market. Cars under its logo are assembled at two enterprises - Avtotor in Kaliningrad and IzhAvto in Izhevsk. The first KIA cars made in Russia were Carnival and Magentis. Today, almost the entire line of these South Korean cars are manufactured at these two factories: Rio, Cee'd, Soul, Sportage 3, Carens and others.

Starts in 2001 Russian history Korean Hyundai. The production of cars of this brand is established at the plant in Taganrog. The first model assembled here was the Hyundai Accent. In addition to the main production in Taganrog, several Hyundai models are made in the Leningrad region. These two plants today produce not only Sonata, Elantra XD, Accent, Solaris, Santa Fe SUV, County buses, Aero Town, but also Porter and Hyundai HD 500 heavy trucks.

Since 1998, Renault cars have been produced at the Avtoframos enterprise in the capital, created thanks to the fruitful cooperation of the Moscow Government and the Renault concern. Today, several models are produced here: Fluence, Logan, Megane, Sandero and Duster.

Since 2007, in the village of Shushary, located not far from St. Petersburg, Toyota has opened its own automobile manufacturing plant, which assembles only one model - the Camry sedan. The Land Cruiser Prado SUV is manufactured at the facilities of the Far Eastern joint venture Sollers-Bussan.

In addition to Toyota, we also assemble other brands Japanese cars. Mitsubishi Outlander is produced in the Kaluga region, and Nissan Murano, X-Trail and Teana are produced in the Kamenka industrial zone, located in the Leningrad region.

American Ford has also established assembly production of its European models in our country. Starting with the release of the Ford Focus, today this auto giant produces such popular models here as Mondeo, Transut and Trend.

As you can see, today a simply mind-boggling number of foreign cars are produced in Russia. Such machines are not inferior in build quality to their foreign counterparts, but thanks to special financial incentives provided to manufacturing enterprises, they have a significantly lower price, which makes them very attractive to ordinary citizens.

Where is BMW X5 assembled for the Russian market?

Cars from the Bavarian company BMW have always indicated the success of their owner. No matter what anyone says, German models are practical, durable and fast. Crossovers are especially popular. For example, the BMW X5 is characterized as a calm and economical sports car. At the same time, it is very powerful, which becomes clear both when driving on the highway and in city traffic.

All car owners note that in the city the Five proves to be calm and economical. At the same time, on the track it is fast and even aggressive. And in any case, it is very easy and pleasant to drive.

Most likely, this is the merit not only of the designers and engineers who thought through everything to the smallest detail, but also of the craftsmen who made the car. In this article we will look at where the BMW X5 is assembled for Russian buyers, and how the car of our production differs from a purebred German one.

Where is BMW X5 assembled?

The oldest factories where the BMW X5 is assembled are located in America, Germany and England. Of these, in Russia you can find American-assembled cars. Several years ago, BMW X5 for the Russian market began to be assembled at a local plant. In the summer of 2009, it became known that the car would be made at the Avtotor production facility. In the first year, approximately 1,000 models rolled off the assembly line. Further, until last 2015, their number only increased.

By the way, this is not the only car of the German concern that is assembled at a Russian plant. At the same time, the BMW X6 began to be made here, and even earlier the third and fifth series sedans and the X3 crossover rolled off the assembly line. It is interesting that the first car of the Bavarian company was assembled and produced here at the end of the last century, in 1999. The number of models in our assembly was 555. Already in 2007, this figure increased to 4.5 thousand. In 2015 it almost doubled.

Let's figure out how Russian craftsmen cope with their work and whether it is worth buying a BMW X5 of our assembly.

Review of Russian-assembled BMW X5

The first BMW X5, which rolled off the Russian assembly line, cost 68 thousand euros. Under the hood there were two power units that produced a total power of 309 horsepower. One of them was a two-liter turbocharged petrol engine, and the other was electric. The engines were connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission. By the way, the car has not changed since then, either externally or technically. But its cost has increased by a quarter.

In fact, the Russian assembly is not much different from the German one. And the point is not that our craftsmen suddenly began to make reliable cars, but that local production is large-scale. That is, ready-made parts are sent to Russia, but here they are only welded and given the required appearance to the car. Therefore, as it turned out, where the BMW X5 is assembled is not so important. After all, German quality remains so in any case.

A little about the advantages of a crossover. The car consumes only 3.4 liters of fuel per hundred kilometers. The electric motor can last up to 31 kilometers on a single charge.

Its design is thought out to the smallest detail. Clear lines, a muscular body and sloping pillars are what distinguishes the car. It is stylish and special in its own way. Vertical air intakes appeared in the side bumper. They improve aerodynamics. In the cabin of the Russian modification, new, very comfortable sports seats appeared. There is also LED lighting around the entire perimeter. It goes to the front panel from the door side. Interestingly, its color changes depending on the driver’s wishes in the white, blue and orange range.

The multimedia system is amazing. It is quite powerful and the sound output is very loud thanks to the excellent speakers. The screen diagonal is 10.25 inches. There are so many functions here that you can get confused. You can control the car using this display, and nothing more. In general, it will take about a month to study the functionality of the screen alone.

Security here is also at the highest level. Both the driver and the passenger can feel protected. The seat cushions are adjustable in any position, they are heated and can be pulled out depending on your desire.

Now a little about the disadvantages. The driving settings on the BMW X5 are quite average. But this is not the fault of our engineers. The car begins to drive with slight delays. Although the car is positioned as a sports car, it is calmer than one might expect. In Russian-assembled crossovers, some note wide gaps between parts. Sound insulation does not suffer from this, nor do aesthetic characteristics. But they note that dust and dirt often get clogged in the cracks. And also, dampness from natural precipitation accumulates here.

But, nevertheless, the mentioned shortcomings are not so serious as not to pay attention to the BMW X5. Ultimately, where the crossover is assembled is not so important. Therefore, do not be afraid of our assembly, and feel free to buy the model.

BMW plant in Russia: location found! - Behind the wheel magazine

As a result, between the Kaliningrad and Kaluga regions, the Moscow region and St. Petersburg, BMW settled on the westernmost Russian region. This is quite understandable: BMW and the Kaliningrad region have a long-term relationship, because it is here at the Avtotor plant that most BMW models for the Russian market are made using the SKD method.

Currently, the government of the Kaliningrad region and the Ministry of Industry and Trade are agreeing on the terms of a special contract to be concluded with BMW. The head of the department, Denis Manturov, stated this in an interview with Vedomosti. Last December, the Germans registered a separate company in Russia, BMW Russland Automotive LLC, which will assemble cars on the Russian market, and sales and service functions will remain in the hands of BMW Russland.

Maximilian Kellner, who held the post of head of the Russian branch of BMW last year, stated that BMW is inclined to build a plant in the Kaliningrad region, in which BMW is attracted by the investment climate and the plans of local authorities for its further improvement.

The BMW plant project in the Kaliningrad region is already several years old. Initially, it was planned to be built jointly with Avtotor, which wanted to create an automobile cluster in Kaliningrad, similar to those that already exist in the Kaluga region or St. Petersburg. Construction of the plant was planned to begin in 2015, but then the project was postponed due to the crisis that occurred in the Russian automobile market.

BMW, like its main competitor in the premium segment, Daimler AG, will assemble cars in Russia in a full cycle, including welding and painting of bodies. The concern’s own factories in Germany and the USA, as well as several joint ventures in China, operate according to this principle. But if the products of factories in Germany and the USA are supplied to all countries of the world, and the Chinese market is huge in volume, then in Russia BMW, compared to other companies with full-cycle production plants, is, to put it mildly, small: in 2017, the Bavarians sold from us just over 30 thousand cars (+9%).

Where are BMWs assembled in Russia?

Home » Articles » Where BMWs are assembled in Russia

German cars– synonymous with solidity, quality, reliability and power. And prosperity, of course. Therefore, there is no shortage of demand for them and is not expected. Moreover, in order to meet the growing needs of the market, even German auto giants are trying to expand the production of their products around the world, including in our country. If you think that in those regions where BMWs are assembled in Russia, only pedantic and neat Germans work, who are brought in by containers, then you are mistaken.

The production is carried out by the Avtotor enterprise, which is located in Kaliningrad. In the year, production volumes (for all understandable reasons) fell, but still cooperation between the two countries in the production of cars continues. Official representatives of the brand report that sales volumes fell by 20%. We can only hope that the crisis will gradually end.

So the city of Kaliningrad is an outpost of the German automobile industry in Russia. What models are produced here? There are several of them:

These are, for a minute, cars of the third, fifth and seventh series. It should be noted that Avtotor and BMW have been cooperating for more than a decade and a half, and during this time their specialists have managed to hone the technology at domestic enterprises to perfection. Simply put, BMW assembly in Russia is in no way inferior in quality to German assembly.

Differences between the Russian assembly

There are some differences between Russian- and German-assembled BMWs. Firstly, the Russian adaptation involves the installation of more reliable and rigid shock absorbers, similarly in the situation with stabilizers. In addition, the electronic “guts” are configured to work even in very severe frosts. The ground clearance of these cars is noticeably greater than if compared with the German version. The kit also includes engine crankcase protection, which is very important in our conditions.

As you might guess, BMWs are produced in Russia using the SKD method. Ready-made components are brought from Germany, from which skilled workers “sculpt” the finished car. No domestic components are used during assembly at all. It's hard to say whether this is good or bad.

Quality control is very “severe”, and therefore the number of defects in the case of Russian and German assembly is extremely low. The only difference is that the Germans have much more configurations, and they are much richer. True, given current prices, when a BMW 7 Series in its simplest version costs about six million rubles, the number of people wishing to purchase it has decreased significantly.

Unfortunately, the Avtotor plant, where BMWs are now assembled in Russia, may abandon a number of “ineffective” models. If the current situation with a small number of buyers continues, then the seventh series, for example, may completely disappear from the assembly line.

***What cars are assembled in Russia?*** - DRIVE2

The time has come to choose a new car and then the question arose: which one to buy? After looking at the models I liked, taking a test drive and comparing them, I made a choice. I would like to note in advance that my choice was made correctly.)

infiniti Q50

Alas, almost all cars began to be assembled in Russia. Are you ready to buy a BMW worth 4,000,000, which is assembled in Russia? What are we paying for?! For a brand assembled in Russia, it’s simply ridiculous.

Having reviewed the entire list, I was pleasantly surprised that Mercedes was not on this list. Although it is possible that S class cars will be assembled in Russia,

And also good news, the new Infiniti Q50 has Mercedes-Benz engines.

so different, but similar...

And then the question arose, what to choose? Mercedes-Benz with its new products or Infiniti Q50, which turns you on at the level of instincts.)

BMW is going to build a full-cycle plant in Russia

The construction of the Mercedes plant in the Moscow region is in full swing. The full-cycle enterprise will start operating in 2019 and will produce 25 thousand cars per year. Daimler's main competitor, the BMW concern, also intends to produce cars in Russia. And not using the large-knot method (this is how they are already assembled in Kaliningrad), but with welding, body painting and other assembly cycles. Details are written by Vedomosti.

A completely new plant may appear in the Kaliningrad region, where a special economic zone (SEZ) operates. Companies here receive budget subsidies comparable to the cost of paying customs duties when importing components. According to preliminary data, the company will not only have a stamping shop (body panels will arrive on the conveyor in finished form). The remaining stages of assembly will be carried out at the future plant.

Russian-assembled BMWs will be supplied only to the Russian market. Currently, Avtotor in Kaliningrad produces models 3-, 5- and 7-Series, X1, X3, X4, X5, X6. BMW, together with Avtotor, considered the possibility of building a full-cycle plant in Russia, but the decision was constantly postponed. Recently, the management of Avtotor said that for the construction of such an enterprise it is planned to sign a special investment contract (admission to state support in exchange for investment).
