BMW X5 Hits One Million Units
German car manufacturing giants BMW have rolled out their one millionth X5, further cementing their place at the summit of the luxury SAV market. At just under 100,000 units a year for the past 11 years, the X5 has been a prolific vehicle for its manufacturers and has outsold its competitors for the past seven years.
It is an impressive feat for the X5, with its units per year ratio comparing pretty favourably with some of the most successful cars of modern times. The VW Beetle, the most produced car ever to be sold, averaged around 320,000 units per year. For the X5 to have even reached six figures per annum is remarkable given the level of competition it faces and the fact that it is deemed a luxury SAV.
The Spartanburg assembly line in South Carolina churned out the milestone vehicle, a fitting accolade given that the plant has proven to be integral to the success of the model. The centre has existed for 15 years and become the centre for expertise on BMW X models.
