There used to be, BMW M GmbH in Garching, Germany. The last M car produced there was the E34 M5 in 1995. Nowadays, you'll find that most M cars are built in the same plant as there regular series car whether be it a 2er, 3er, 4er.

The body of the M2 is built at the Leipzig Plant, then sent to the /// M Body Shop to have all the M Specific bracing installed, then the body returns to the regular series production line to be completed in it's entirety.

Most the parts are available at the series production plant. The M2 spends a short time at the M Body shop then returns to be finished alongside the other series production cars. . |
