It has taken the German luxury car maker less than six years to achieve this milestone and halfway through the year, the group has also managed to achieve an equally impressive production milestone, which is the roll out of its 25,000th unit from the Chennai plant.
Commenting on the continued success of the group’s operations here in India, Dr. Andreas Schaaf, President, BMW India said, “BMW India continues its success story in 2012 by maintaining its momentum in the leadership position in Indian luxury car segment. We understand the Indian luxury consumer and are confident of maintaining our Number One position in the luxury car segment with an emotional and exciting product portfolio, innovative services and strong customer affinity towards the BMW brand.”

There is something wrong in the above article. At the start it mentions that BMW has delivered 9371 cars so far in the calender year 2012, whereas in the last para it mentions that in calender year 2012, BMW has delivered 4457 cars with a monthly break up from January to June. I think I later figure is correct as the monthly break up further convince it.

I've been to their assembly unit near chennai they have state of art automated equipments imported from Germany, and everything is run under SAP automation, pretty neat. I think they roll out 25 units a day that time.
