Where is the E60 built? At what factory?

The new BMW 5 Series is built exclusively at BMW's largest production plant, the BMW Dingolfing Plant, approximately 100 kilometres away from Munich, Germany.

Thanks for the link. Although I'm buying my 535 here in Germany I can't pick it up from the factory. It did have info on having a guided tour.

You are right, but also there are some other local assembly plants, like here in Egypt. BMW produces the 320i, 523i, 525i, 530i, and 740i locally here in Cairo, Egypt.
I would guess there is also China.

That's referred to as kitting. Subassemblies are shipped to a remote plant and assembled locally to avoid domestic content laws.
