BMW has hit the record figure of one million units produced with its X5 SUV. This landmark was achieved when the BMW manufacturing facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina rolled out the one millionth car. The one millionth X5 built by BMW, is a 2011 model year xDrive 35i with a Sapphire Black paint job and a cabin upholstered with Cinnamon Brown Nevada leather.

The one millionth BMW X5 is going to be delivered to a person in China, which could in a few years time have a large number of collectors chasing after it just for the sake of the one millionth X5 tag attached to it.

The BMW X5 can be bought for a price of about 60 lakh rupees in India.

The one millionth Fiat Grande Punto rolled out Fiat’s Melfi factory a couple of days back. The Grande Punto has changed the face of Fiat after the brand almost went bankrupt before the car’s launch.

Launched in 2005, the Grande Punto is the 3rd-generation Punto and is significantly larger than its predecessors. Almost 6.5 million of the Punto series have been sold since it’s launch in 1993. This car, according to sources, will be manufactured in India starting February 2009.
