The Last Internal Combustion BMW Engine Has Been Made In Munich
Say goodbye to the ICE era in BMW’s hometown.


About a year ago, I visited BMW’s Group Plant Munich to get a preview of the German automaker’s ambitious plans for solid-state batteries, the concept car behind the Neue Klasse electric reboot and even color-changing cars. The Munich plant dates back to 1922. It has become a sprawling, high-tech facility that employs nearly 8,000 people from 50 different countries, is connected to its own museum, and is a vital part of BMW’s company history.

And that plant just made its last-ever internal combustion engine.

BMW confirmed to InsideEVs that the company has now ended production of its V8 engine at the Munich plant, news first reported by Electrive and BMW Blog. This brings an end to any internal combustion motor production at the company’s headquarters, and arguably its global beating heart. Granted, the plant still makes some cars that get ICE motors, but making actual gas engines there is a thing of the past.
