The tour of the BMW plant in Munich is a must for all BMW fans is 2 hours, 20 minutes of pure heaven BMW head speed, I went on the tour of 16 hours and was worried of all that BMW factory line could end the day as we were afraid not tour because 9,000 employees working five days 24 hours from Monday to Friday in the 79765 square meter factory all the time we were on tour the line was in constant motion producing BMW 900 per day on both days of the plant is closed down on Saturday and Sunday are for complete cleaning and maintenance of the equipment.
For your ultimate driving machine come to life on the long road serpigineux 3 5 km, it takes only 40 hours The Munich plant is three BMW F30 Sedan are 3 series, the F31 3 Series Wagon and F32 4 Series Coupe blinded me, the Munich plant also made great BMW N20 2 0 liter four-cylinder engines, the N63 April 4 liter V8, the S65 V8 M3 cries in his last months of production and the V12 Rolls Royce that goes into the 760i and the BMW plant can make 3,500 engines a day N20 because its production process is more mechanized than 50, but only 30 of V12 engines because they require a high degree of assembly by hand .
To start the tour, you experience the Welt behind the gift shop after the signs leading you to a small room that can accommodate thirty when you watch a short film on the history of BMW and get cool headphones that allow you to hear the driver of the visit talking in a very strong a decent virtual tour Welt plant and across the bridge over the street to the building four-cylinder and left offers to the door of the factory This is the point where all cell phones and cameras must be turned off and stowed.
The first part of the plant was more industrial looking and reminded me of a steel mill that was as big as two football fields and seemed a 100 feet high in a 238,000 square foot building Where large cranes that worked on airways to various molds shuttle presses These molds can come in one of two 2000 ton presses Schuler who sit atop massive shock absorbers so that the action of the press that compresses slamming steel coated with zinc doesn t disturb the neighbors.
This video is a BMW production E90 chassis BMW Plant Munich, but let's you see the plant in action.
Stamped body panels are trimmed and matched with the chassis parts swivel rotary wheel robot arm exactly go where welds are needed, I was surprised by the proximity of the tour comes to sparks if they are behind the safety glass Robots pinch both sides of the panel and the breath of electricity by creating perfect spot welds These welding tips on robots wear and robots keep track and rotate the tip and change their past copper tips popped out in a cart for recycling.
To keep things smooth and avoid waste, every BMW is built to order parts not produced in the Munich plant appear so just in time.
Sometimes this requires that BMW store an unpainted galvanized warehouse you to this part of the tour would be boring, but wrong to you because every galvanized shell is parked by an automated parking robot Once the rest of the pieces showed in the plant, the robot then removes the galvanized shell and up again on the line warehouse can hold up to 140 cars at a time.
On the road, the body is prepared for painting and even more protection against rust So if the body is made of galvanized steel and zinc, not BMW still need more protection against rust Well, soaking baths take care of the places where the cuts were made during trimming and where welds are Hmm, I really did not know this before hand on the paint booth that I could have moved to this part for hours, I n would never have guessed there was water flowing under raging cars as they are painted to catch overspray recycling robot arms open and spray the inside of the car, and then gently close the same for the hood too.
Just before the body F3X enters the paint booth, BMW uses emu feathers of a dervish turning manner reminiscent of an automatic car wash brush swirling away the body F3X hitting dust grains Surprisingly the plant the ability to paint each car coming the line of a different color, it just takes a few puffs on robots for painting tips for cleaning the old paint We saw red followed by white, black followed an unreal amount of flexibility each robot in the paint booth is covered with a beautiful cloth cover to protect it from overspray These covers a Replaced weekly.
Since the Munich plant has been around since 1923 when he made motorcycles, he has an incredible amount of creative use of space because they had to adapt to the line in a confined space unlike the BMW Leipzig plant BMWBLOG tour the BMW plant in Leipzig on the tour you have to watch your step and mind where your head is literally the tour crosses the line it its green red light where the tour stops and the gas tanks we spend all crowded waiting to cross the green line when we had just the perfect amount of time to cross before the light turned red and a gas tank tootling by line.
The part of the wedding was fascinating This is the part of the plant where the frame with the powertrain consisting of the motor and transmission, and suspension components are paired with the body is interesting to note that participates steps of the scene, we have seen paired up, but did not want t cinch down to final assembly points by BMW considers the mated pair of chassis and body, a BMW.
One of the most interesting automated process where the windshield stall robot a robot holds the windshield upside down and turn the glass around the application of the exact amount of glue to exact spot necessary for the particular body the robot then lies down glass which is immediately taken over by another robot and turned and he sets up with just the right amount of pressure the only non-glass placed via robot is small triangular window that sits behind the rear doors of the 3 series wagon.
There is so much to describe the mechanical arms helping Place the battery in the trunk, the seats are placed, trim applied Marriage of the chassis to the body He was just an incredible thing to see happening before your very eyes attention BMW to remember is surprising because it is their attention to the car worker safety will literally tilt up to 45 degrees or more if the factory worker didnt look and tread.
Reservations for the tour are taken up to 6 months in advance by contacting BMW by email to tried unsuccessfully three times because my trip to Munich planning took place after the visit of reservations the factory had filled so if you end up like me and want a factory tour still don t have a reservation before you arrive early on the day you want to go get definitely show before 10 hours to ensure that the walk daily allocated in slots fill early and wear good walking shoes as the tour is over 3 km long Sadly, the photos are not permitted This manufacturing process is so unique that it can not be copied and used by competitors no photo This was the most difficult of the tour for me, you literally see BMWs be made of pressed board product is the finished product.
As the plant only operates Monday to Friday, tours are over the price of the work week for the tour are 8 € for adults and 5 euros for children 7-14 years.
Munchen BMW Factory Tour, factory visit, a few minutes of pure amateur, enthusiast minutes pure speed.
