BMW has released an interesting video showing its manufacturing process from start to finish. The cars being built are the E90 3-Series sedan, and as you will see, some pretty cool manufacturing processes are used. See BMW being welded, glued, and bolted together after the jump…

This is real cool. As far as I understand, the BMW factory conveyor belt really does take the cars through the office workers cubicles as the car is assembled. Cool way to keep the office people connected with their product

Hey DAV, i hate to break it to you but all cars are made that way, unless you’re paying for a Rolls or Maybach….

I’d love to make a video of me throwing Chris Bangle out of BMW design headquarters on his ass.

#6/DAV,
That’s the most igorant comment I’ve ever seen. There’s this term that exists… what’s it called… oh yes, ‘R&D’. BMW spends a ton of money to make their cars as fun and rewarding to drive as they are. This includes silky-smooth motors that have awesome torque curves, to the chassis designs that have near-perfect 50/50 front/rear weight distributions (even the X3/5 SUVs have this!), to their world-class suspension geometries. That R&D also goes into automating build processes that minimize errors due to human related issues like stress or fatigue.
I’m sure it’s easy being a keyboard-jockey like yourself… but in the real world, a ton of science and engineering (and thus $) goes into making these automobiles.

How about a real time version instead of the Attention Deficit Disorder one?
