A very futuristic car with its aluminium & carbon fiber construction. The look takes getting used to but there is technological & mechanical beauty in the design of the i3. I never historically cared for BMW, but now I kind of want an i3 94Ah REx.
wow thats such a high tech build process and extremely futuristic design , car building has changed so much , quality control looks paramount in this factory
Sensacional!!! Eis aqui o mais belo futuro da produção de um automóvel surpreendente! A surpresa começa logo na produção, se é que podemos ainda chamar essa "obra de arte" de produção... Parabéns BMW!!! Vou apresentar este vídeo em minhas aulas junto aos alunos da faculdade de Engenharia de Produção, com os devidos créditos à BMW.
I have a degree in electrical engineering, and working on industrial robots maintenance and programing. Could I work in a factory like this one? This is madness 👏🏻👏🏻
12:22 is potentially a serious problem! If you look closely when the machine is applying a silicone based adhesive(gasket). It applies to much and runs off to the inside of the case. This might cause problems in the future but not likely.
+sosick2005 Yeah I doubt that. I highly doubt the BMW engineers didn't design that part of the case to be vulnerable to spilled sealant. The people who set up these factors are FAR FAR smarter than you or I.
+Will Davis Don't get all worked up. I'm Not taking anything away from their brilliance. I'm a German auto lover. But Stevie wonder could see that is an issue
There is so much better quality in this video than the last video I watched. I’m guessing when all is said and done it cost the company around 10 to 12 thousand to build the entire vehicle. It’s sold for $40,000 plus. That’s a nice profit
one of the most awesome cars from BMW in recent years. actually my favourite car from them although it does not look as good as some of their other models.
Fantastic video. Tremendous technology. factory is extremely clean, people are all in uniform, machines are very well kept and clean. Everything is a state of art. About Europeanautosource who post the video, my congratulations for a so good video and the best: not music at all. The best music in videos are the natural sound produced by machines, people working, compressed air, that particular noise of the robotics, and many other sounds produced by the assembling process. A must to watch video. I loved.
@@Lawrence0S No they didn't cleaned just for this filming. Probably you don't know Germans, they prepare the factory for TUV inspection now and then with absolute general cleaning and safety but sincere to be, there is almost no way to accumulate any dirt or garbage. Beside that working in BMW factories won't bring you to far, their salaries are a shame. One of my brothers work for BMW for more then 22 years and he don't earn more then a kitchen-porter here in Dublin. At least as a kitchen-porter you'll get free drink/food and a bit of tips too )) Engineers and upper class yes, they earn sound money but not the few human robots that are left over there.
Simply amazing automation. The jigs alone are a work of art. I struggle though to understand how the cost of such a development can ever prove profitable for one type of electric vehicle. I guess this would also proof test the concept of automating carbon fiber production. Still, they must have expected to sell a lot of units.
Impressive Factory. Very Clean. However at tape counter 40:07 the finished i3 looks like its missing the headlight trim. Is that item an option when it leaves the factory ?
Great motivational video: On the one hand, these cars would cost ten times as much were the tasks not automated. One the other hand, this video was recorded over 6 years ago. Most of the tasks shown which required people have since been automated.
On the 3rd hand cars didn't get cheaper, even they're made with less and less people who are the biggest cost factor in production. Yet the car industry again cries after tax payers money _(at least in Germany)_ and are still paying huge dividend to their shareholders.
@@FabFunty Newer cars certainly cost a lot more. But a large part of that is the addition of airbags, anti skid, traction control, tire pressure monitor systems, collision avoidance, lane detection, high end stereos, navigation systems, 8 to 10 speed transmissions, superior metallurgy in the frame and engine, advance fuel injection systems, heated/cooled/ and even massaging seats, multi zone climate control, built in WiFi hotspots, multiple cameras, large touchscreen displays, 'Onstar' or equivalent satellite based communications systems, video infotainment systems, automated parking assistance, etc. Labor used to be the largest cost factor. But that's no longer clear, at least to me. Some of these robotic systems are hideously expensive yet are deemed cost effective because of the reduction in required labor force. The number of costly mandatory recalls and liability claims have increased as well. The taxpayer bailout issue is a tough one, whether it's automotive, bank or insurance (AIG) bailouts. Citizens suffer while the heads of these companies have the gall to still issue huge bonuses to a select few. At a minimum, that should be illegal. At the same time, whether it is the U.S. or Germany, can you imagine a major industrial country having one of its top two or three automotive manufacturers vanish, along with the jobs and skills associated with it? Manufacturing is a strategic asset, especially as relates to transport and energy. The U.S. has apparently lost much of its medical manufacturing infrastructure. The Covid debacle serves as a wake up call that manufacture of medical supplies & medicines are also strategic assets which any major industrial country must preserve.

Eric Boyles hopefully you wore steel toed boots Incase of any almonds falling off the conveyer belt onto youre foot. I mean, a hard hat sounds like a good idea, those almonds on the upper belts would reap utter death on any poor soul standing under them, if one should roll off and fall. Glad you’re alive buddy. Dangerous work. Incredible risk, just to make sure no jerk off tried to sneak his own nut onto the conveyor belt of almonds. You stood post and sorted almonds with dignity. Thank you sir. Myself, and many others are grateful for service of nut separating.
Damn, just watched Chinese factory documentary where there are 17,000 workers making irons, coffee-machines and some sort of grills and this is definitely much more advanced lol
Interessant vor allem zu sehen, wie eine Serienfertigung mit CFK-Monocoque abläuft. Der Zusatzaufwand gegenüber Stahlblech, mit einer Reihe von zusätzlichen Fertigungsschritten, wobei das Backen des Monocoque hier noch übersprungen wird, Wasserstrahl-Schneiden, spezielle Lackierung, dazu spezielle Montage-Roboter - enorm. Für die paar dutzend gesparten Kilogramm lohnt sich das für ein Luftfahrzeug - bei einem PKW aber völlig überzogen. Will man um jeden Preis vermeiden, dass E-Antrieb ins niedrige Preissegment kommt?
