It’s widely considered that the new BMW 3-Series is pretty much the best car you can buy for the money. Now you get to find out what the Germans do in the process of building it to make it such a good sedan.
A 15-minute long video of how the F30 sedan is built at the production line in Munich has recently been released. The whole process is highly robotized, from the presses that form the chassis panels, to the ones that weld them together, there’s very little human intervention.
There are, however, stations where people are putting in the front fenders, the bonnet and other panels, checking the gap tolerances at every stage.
The paint process is of course also robotized, and there are even robots that open the doors so paint can be added to the inside of the car.
The last stage is when the 3-Series rolls off the line, onto a test bed and is then loaded for delivery.
