Production at BMW's factory in the German town of Dingolfing is completely silent. It will resume on Monday evening next week at the earliest, the spokesperson confirms.
An enormously expensive fault in the brake system in a number of new and older BMWs is now causing the German brand to put an end to production.
At least at the brand's factory in the German town of Dingolfing. In fact, production has already stopped. It happened on Thursday, and work will not resume until Monday evening at the earliest.
A spokesperson from the car brand confirms this to BR24 .
The fault, says BMW, is due to technical problems at the sub-supplier Continental. However, production will only resume when messages are received from the sub-supplier that the problem is under control.

Other media write that the mistake, which has meant that BMW is recalling and detaining a total of one and a half million cars, will cost the car brand 1 billion euros, corresponding to 7.46 billion Danish kroner, to correct.
The company that supplies the brake system for BMW explained on Tuesday that the brake booster can fail in some cases, so you have to step harder on the pedal to brake. However, neither Contiental nor BMW is aware that any persons have been injured due to the fault.
But it is nevertheless a mistake that only casts even more shadow over the car brand, which is already struggling with diesel cars that burn up. A problem that is also present on Danish cars. BMW has even received a huge fine for trying to keep the matter quiet.
