As the only facility to have produced all six generations of the BMW 3 Series, BMW Group Plant Munich is seen as the leader for all the other facilities.
 
BMW Group Plant Munich currently produces 1,000 cars a day, half of them BMW 3 Series. To meet the demand, the model series is also manufactured at Plants Regensburg, Dingolfing (both Germany), Rosslyn (South Africa) and Tiexi (China).
