BMW Brilliance Auto is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year following a decade of remarkable achievements in localization and contributions to social causes.

Established in 2003 in Shenyang, the capital city and industrial hub of Liaoning province, BMW Group's joint venture now builds the long-wheelbase BMW 5 Series, the 3 Series and the X1 compact SUV. It delivered more than 140,000 vehicles in 2012.

The long-wheelbase 5 Series tailor-made for local customers set a benchmark in localization when it rolled off the assembly line in 2006.
