BMW 5 Series Production Process - Factory line

[Dantinus]

Every striking auto workers should watch this video.

[salehhlo]

مالك نجر .. ياخي وش معجبك بالبي ام

عليهم تصاميم من 99 ماتغيرت بشكل جدي

يابوي هونداي ارحم منهم

وسلامتي طال بقائي

[TarikuSenD]

@salehhlo التصميم هو أخر شيء تفكر فيه إذا قلت بي أم

[fahadq878]

يخلي الواحد يشعر بالغباء فعلاً

[azaz909068]

خطيييييييييييييييييييير والله

[samri86]

i feel smaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall

[yeti13c]

يا الوصخ

[unclefreddie70]

Can we see an M3 being made?

[George5pppp]

If the factory is staffed by robots, that means asian industrial spies will not be working in the factory, and they steal ideas worth 20 billion a year from the Germans alone.

[jezwah]

this is probably why kia and hyundai are starting to make ok'ish cars. they now have ex bmw mechanics and engineers lol

[golf23101987]

I FEEL POOR...

[fitnesspoint2006]

You morons, why are you guys talking about unemployment???...you need enigineers to build these robots, you need mechanics to maintain these robots, you need programmers to code for these robots. These robots need constant upkeep and require HUMAN BEINGS from all skill, education and trade level. From production to maintainence of these robots that build BMWs to such tight tolerances (surprassing what humans can do) requires very skilled HUMANS BEINGS and many of them!

[ceyhan49]

conclusion: u will never get a first hand car as they are driven by testers....

[Gustavling]

Did anybody else feel dirty watching at 2:27?

[marcvie9]

omg bullshit, mercedes uses man power for some parts of the car, like hand poliched wood trim and hand fit leather, but in this video no people at all, i hate it when robot's take over a whole fabrique with all that fancy brand new thingys

[GuitarNiimura]

@marcvie9 lol, that's because Mercedes requires more "handcrafting" for their cars..

[magnusonish]

@GuitarNiimura I am sorry but that just isn`t the truth. If you take a drive of Mercedes and test it, but test it properly , and BMW you will see the difference. Bmw has a better quality interior and some joints on the car body itself. Also BMW is a truly a proper drivers car because of it`s handling. It handles better that Merc. Both cars are great but BMW wins in some areas.

[GuitarNiimura]

@magnusonish I commented 2 times earlier, decided to delete them... I won't discuss this with you :) it just end up being a endless discussion.

I say this: don't read the tests and copy and past it into a discussion... test the cars yourself and you will get very surprised.

[magnusonish]

@GuitarNiimura As a journalist I am testing cars :) Who says that you have to discuss this with me? And only stupid ones are doing the copy-paste comments! I wouldn't insult my intelligence by doing that and it is very obvious when somebody is doing it. :) I am not reading this often and do not have a habit of discussing this with people that I don't know...you never know what somebody really knows and does for living. So...all the best to you and Merc! :)

[GuitarNiimura]

@magnusonish when I see this comment I understand that you're a serious guy!

I guess it would have been a funny discussion :) you're of the serious type, but as you said you never know who you meet on the internet.

I often discuss things and often meet 13 year old boys(etc) who go crazy when somebody says Mercedes is better than BMW.

And all the best to you and your BMW ;)

[magnusonish]

@GuitarNiimura Thank`s a lot GuitarNiimura! :)

[TedlWorks]

Wow, no human involvement at all!

[Gustavling]

@TedlWorks Yeah, I'm pretty sure the robots figured out how to put together that car all on their own. Robotic arms are really smart nowadays!

[marcvie9]

@Gustavling Yes robots make people unemployed! Unlike Mercedes...

[tarasik2009]

Thank god people are still driving :))

[alexcheetah79]

this is like watching a science fiction movie.

[alexcheetah79]

this is like watching a scienc fiction movie.

[roni14518]

iInteresting,

If machines will do all the work that we are supposed to do,

then we will all be unemployed,

and if any of these cars cost an average of £ 40,000 than none of us

will be able to afford them,

and after a while the company and the machines will all come

to a stop,

and we start from zero again......

[Kubric]

@roni14518 there's plenty of people behind these kinds of production lines, the only difference is that these employees are more educated

[chrisluvjh]

*drool*...

[Toni7859]

Hope those dont make errors! Strange some cars (even some BMWs) still have people actually putting the parts on, etc.

[heartlessvietboy]

What I think is Bavarian Motors should start focusing on a simple straight forward business approach instead of producing and building so many engines. We are polluting and wasting alot of resources.

The old' Government Days are over. Airplanes for war machines are of past. It's time to organize the world and build clean cars for the people to enjoy.

[alexcheetah79]

@heartlessvietboy I don't think BMW has any interest in making pedal cars...

[heartlessvietboy]

What are pedal cars?

[alexcheetah79]

@heartlessvietboy what does it sound like?

[heartlessvietboy]

Cars that you pedal??

[alfredosb]

im scared



[Jamzkangster]

no wonder bmw is unreliable as fuck...they have the robots doing everything.

[lionelmtb88]

@Jamzkangster Bullshit, Robots don't make mistakes.

[xbox360rocksful]

@Jamzkangster I was wondering why bmws suck. They are belt by machines. Wow now I have an answer.

[b0rnc0nfused88]

@xbox360rocksful Do you expect BMW to make this many cars by hand? LMFAO

[xbox360rocksful]

@b0rnc0nfused88 My brother almost died when he crashed into a power poll. The steering broke.

[95soxman]

@xbox360rocksful things happen bro. not always the car company

[jesuitenquelle]

in the future, robots will drive and humans will produce.

[david292978]

@jesuitenquelle thanks for that image

[mouzouki]

The birth of a beauty.

[niz55]

i feel unemployed

[JohnPlayer4ever]

pure hightech

[MRBMW10]

i feel stupid....

[Celeon999A]

While it is fascinating to the see all that complex robot technology in action , one cannot ignore the impact of the side effects.

Workplaces which are lost and will never ever come back.

Unemployment is not just problem created by bad politics or a badly running economy. It is also a negative side effect of industrial technological progress.

The labor costs for big factories disappear, but at the same time, the need to earn money for a living disappears for no one.

[TheGermanx0x]

@Celeon999A That is why companies like Rolls Royce deserve your hard earned money. Support hand made vehicles- that's my motto. May I remind you that BMW also owns RR.

[JohnPlayer4ever]

german high-tech

[Timx4]

how did our 2 hand made this, every component seems complex

[evofreak1304]

looks expensive

[bigsmat75]

Na its all real, I work there. yall should go and take the tour, its awsome.

[stejeda20]

@bigsmat75 do you need any type of certification or degree to work there?

[ozeangruen]

@stejeda20 motorcar mechanic, locksmith, electrician, composite technician. After finishing school most Germans start with a 3 year apprenticeship with a company.

Apprenticeship is partly in a company and visiting a vocational school . At the end you

have to make a journeyman's piece and a final examination. Then your a skilled engineering worker.

[peanuts2105]

@ozeangruen you have to praise ze Germans for their foresight. What an excellent schooling idea. Its a shame the UK doesn't have such a large program. But I think things are changing for the better and about time

[ozeangruen]

@stejeda20 in your case make an application to BMW USA or Germany

for apprenticeship, internship whatever.

[KingsWorld2010]

amazing, it's like watching a Terminator movie!

[robybooy]

@KingsWorld2010 haha that's exactly what I thought after watching a few seconds of the video... the sounds, the assembly roboters .. like T2

[Rustammarine]

Looks like computer animated! Cool tho

[tangjkd]

at 1:20 what are those red hot steel things?

[mcdudly00]

i like to see production peocess videos :D

[dakrisht]

That was absolutely amazing.

[viktorbmw3]

Best Country,best Car!!

[NarexM]

Kuka robots the best :)

[extra3Fan]

@NarexM Of course they are the best! I just hope they will still produce them in Germany

[NarexM]

@extra3Fan Until the chines take us over :|

[calaiscruiser]

Beautiful! BMW is the best car maker in the world! I want one!

[L0ngrun]

its crazy enginering!

[AbuKamal4ik]

perfect!!!

[paulhunter123]

shit there was a bit of a skip at the end.

[AdamsJoshua85]

I felt like I just saw the dawn of the computer/machine overload world. Beautiful, although scary.

[TakeMySoul89]

well said
