BMW's Munich plant will produce solely electric vehicles starting at the end of 2027 onward.

The German carmaker said Wednesday it will spend 650 million euros ($710.6 million) to update the factory site with four buildings, including a vehicle-assembly line.

"The Munich plant is an excellent example of our ability to adapt," said Milan Nedeljkovic, a BMW board member in charge of production.

In a statement, BMW characterized the decision as the "era of automobiles with combustion engines from Munich" ending.
