No, not seen confirmation yet of production at the Leipzig plant.

But, also for geographical reasons, it would make sense to produce the USA-spec G42 2er and G87 M2 in Mexico and the EUR-spec G42 2er and G87 M2 in Germany (compare with the G20 3er production: several plants worldwide including Mexico and Germany). Transatlantic transport delays for deliveries to European 'home market' customers: IMHO unlikely.

Clear indication of preparing G42 and G87 production in Mexico (dedicated thread: here):



I'd imagine Graz is more likely. Magna is the contract manufacturer for G42/G82 BiW after all.
