E46 Manufacturing Video

E90Fleet · 04-28-2005, 11:12 AM

Seeing as you guys liked the picture of the E90 being put together I though those who havent seen it will love this video

Its a video of the E46 3 Series being put together from beginning to end in the munich factory. Unfortunately its in German, but the pictures say a thousand words

Its about 51MB, but well worth the wait

Very interesting. Amazing how simple sheet metal becomes a car.

speed_330i · 12-02-2005, 12:38 PM

I just wish it's translated, really want to hear the explanation for each process.

nabutes · 12-02-2005, 01:19 PM

Excellent video! Now I'm really curious to see the E90 one...

BMW0 · 12-02-2005, 01:24 PM

I want to go on the factory tour now

Ebert and Roeper would give it two thumbs up!!

3some · 12-02-2005, 03:54 PM

Wow that was amazing!!!

They make it look so damn easy.

Shit I can't even assemble a Lego kit.

Very nice to watch.

Nice Video! It would be nice if you can build your own car through the many stages showing on the video.

deutsch100 · 12-02-2005, 05:39 PM

Wunderbares Video

Thanks for posting that. Does anyone have an E90 one to share? I can appreciate the E46 one though, because I had 2 330cics, a 325iT and traded a 2005 M3 for my current E90 330i...so I love E46s too!!!

It was great to hear all the technical explanations too. Danke Schön.

Xens · 12-02-2005, 10:42 PM

Wow, can't even describe how I feel, just incredible.

3some · 12-03-2005, 06:58 AM

Gave the video to my dealer today.

They just love it!!

NICK · 12-03-2005, 10:11 AM

Nice video! Just wish I could understand what they where saying

stubenhocker · 12-05-2005, 04:07 PM

:rocks:

Visited regensburg plant where the 1 series, e46's and e90 were built on the same line.

the great thing is how close you get, we were actually showered by sparks from the robots in the body shop!
