Pretty cool Regensburg production process

Here's a cool video of the Regensburg factory where the new X1 is made. A bit old, it's showing a build of the 2 series Active Tourer, but interesting to watch the process nonetheless.

Very cool. I was most interested in the paint process. I wish it had some info about how many dips each car takes, how hot the dryers are, how many coats, etc.

It's interesting to see that the primer is a dipped coating, and I'm surprised it doesn't have any visible drip marks! I guess it makes it easier to ensure that all bare metal is coated somehow, should help with rust protection compared to just spraying.

I'd really like to see how long the whole painting process takes, as mine has been "in the paint booth" for about 2 days now.
