While BMW is a German brand headquartered in Munich, the X5 model is primarily manufactured at BMW Plant Spartanburg in South Carolina, USA, which serves as the global 'home' for BMW's X-series models. From this facility, vehicles are exported to over 120 markets worldwide. The BMW Group maintains a large global footprint, with various production sites and assembly partners across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

Ownership of the brand remains independent as the BMW Group, which also owns MINI and Rolls-Royce. The Quandt family remains a significant long-term shareholder, ensuring the company maintains its focus on premium engineering and luxury innovation.
