BMW’s Rosslyn plant has marked a significant production milestone with the completion of its 100 000th fourth-generation X3.

The 100 000th model to roll off the German premium car maker’s Pretoria assembly is a fire-red plug-in hybrid vehicle destined for Australia.

Rosslyn is the only production facility globally that manufactures the X3 plug-in hybrid.

Since the plant’s inception, more than 1.8-million vehicles have been produced at the facility, including the previous third-generation BMW X3.

“Producing 100 000 fourth-generation BMW X3 vehicles is a significant milestone for BMW Group Plant Rosslyn, and a testament to the dedication and professionalism of our associates,” says plant director Danny Bester.

“Every vehicle that leaves this plant represents the skill, commitment and pride of the people who build it. It also reflects the trust that customers place in the BMW brand and in the quality delivered here in South Africa.”
