German automaker BMW has commenced full production of new three and four-cylinder engines at its Hams Hall plant in the UK following the completion of its $750m investment across its manufacturing sites.
Hams Hall plant is located near Birmingham and has new production lines which can facilitate machining of over one million components this year.
The automaker started the production of the new engines in small numbers last year which included the three-cylinder BMW TwinPower Turbo technology 1.5-litre petrol engines.
The new lineup of efficient dynamics high-tech engine family includes petrol and diesel engines that features TwinPower Turbo technology and ranging from 1.5 to 3.0l.
All of the engines have different power ratings, and they can be adapted to a variety of vehicle concepts.
BMW also said that the Engines and machined components produced at BMW Plant Hams Hall are used in a wide range of BMW cars including MINI, and the new BMW 7 Series.
At the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, BMW launched new drive and equipment variants of theBMW 7 Series, X1 and 2 Series Active Tourer.
Recently the company also upgraded older models of the BMW 7 Series Gets with Vossen Wheels.
BMW Hams Hall plant director Markus Fallboehmer said: "The transformation in our plant has been huge.
"Over the last few years we have completely re-developed our two main production areas and installed over 600 brand-new pieces of equipment and machinery.
"While a high level of technology and automation ensures our plant remains a state-of-the-art facility, the ergonomics of the workstations where we have more manual input have been carefully thought through and adjusted to suit each individual member of the team."
Apart from the Hams Hall facility, BMW facilities located in Germany and Austria are also producing the same new family of next generation engines.
