Dry paint is still heavy:nod:

I'm pretty certain (given how many times I've watched the process video on the mini site for how their factory works), that the process is pretty standard in any BMW factory, with of course some differences. Some real interesting facts for me were around how the car receives it's paint (adds 20 pounds to the car!!!).

Anyway, for me it was a good generalized look at how a BMW factory produces a car. If you're interested you might try and have your (VCR, PC, TIVO, DVR equivalent) machine record it :)

I saw that one. How many times do they have to say that the engine is the heart of the car? Sheeesh. It's a great engine already. Get over it!

Cool show though!
