I have toured the BMW plant in Greer, SC, and a GM and Ford plant as well. The BMW plant incorporated a much more thorough primer and paint process than the domestic car plants, also the domestic plants were much more automated where as the BMW plant used automation mainly to protect workers from the difficult tasks where they could be injured. Much more hands on work. Another big difference was the testing of the finished product, all BMWs were run through some pretty rigorous testing where as the domestic vehicle plants did not do this. The Saab plant in this video is more like the BMW plant I would say. Employees at the BMW plant seemed to like their jobs and care more about what they were doing. Many who worked there drove BMWs. Just an observation.
