1: Incl. overseas production
Remarks:
Various sources (Autokatalog, VDA) use different figures for BMW, Ford and Opel. In all cases,
the cause of these differences is that the production of some models abroad is included. The
figures for BMW in the Autokatalog included the Z3 production in the USA, in the above list this
is corrected. The Ford figures included the production in Belgium, which I corrected (although
even then, I could not match the various sources...). The Opel figures initially included the Tigra
production, which is, however, built in Zaragossa, Spain.
