- BMW 7 Series G11 Production (CFRP). Please Consider Subscribing.
Like its predecessor, the new BMW 7 Series will also be built in Dingolfing: Series production of the sixth generation of the BMW 7 Series will get underway on 1 July. Between 2008 and the present day, 370,000 models of the previous generation were built in Dingolfing and shipped to customers in more than 100 countries worldwide. Since the launch of the first BMW 7 Series in 1977, the Dingolfing plant has produced a total of more than 1.6 million BMW 7 Series. Its main markets today are China, the US, Germany, the Middle East, Russia, Korea, the UK and Japan. Taking into account all the diverse engine, colour and customer-specific options, countless vehicle variants (options to 1070) can be produced. Barely any two BMW 7 Series leaving the Dingolfing assembly line are the same.
At the employee event to mark the start of production in Dingolfing Harald Krüger, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, said: “This car demonstrates the full innovation capabilities of our developers and designers, as well as the extensive experience and expertise gained from producing our flagship model here in Dingolfing. We have invested more than half a billion euros in the plant in the past three years alone for this purpose. The Plant has been developed and adapted so that it is fully prepared for the future with new technologies, such as carbon fibre and electrification. This represents a clear commitment on the part of the BMW Group to both Dingolfing as a high-tech production location, and to Germany.”
Intelligent lightweight design and technology transfer from BMW i
The newest version of this luxury sedan paves the way for a wide range of innovations in areas including driving dynamics, comfort, intelligent connectivity and control, all complemented by a holistic lightweight concept: Different materials are selectively combined to assure optimum vehicle performance and light weight. For example, ultra-lightweight, high-tech carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) is used in the passenger compartment. Carbon fibre is around 30 per cent lighter than aluminium and about 50 per cent lighter than steel. The unique body structure, referred to as the “carbon core”, is based on technology transferred from the BMW i models, which helps optimise vehicle weight, as well as material strength and rigidity. This results in significantly lower fuel consumption and emissions, combined with improved driving performance, dynamics and comfort. The new BMW 7 Series models weigh up to 130 kilograms less than the previous generation.
Pioneer in large-scale production of carbon fibre
The new BMW 7 Series is the first vehicle in the BMW Group’s core model portfolio to use industrially-manufactured carbon fibre in combination with maximum-strength steel and aluminium in the body structure rather than as a visible shell material. Carbon fibre is used for the roof bows, to reinforce the roof frame, the B and C pillars, the sills, the centre tunnel and for the rear shelf. The company benefits from the knowhow gained from development and production of its BMW i models. For the first time, the BMW Group is using two enhanced, innovative and highly-efficient processes in production of the BMW 7 Series in Dingolfing: wet pressing and hybrid pressing.
In wet pressing, carbon-fibre fabrics or netting, impregnated with resin, are pressed in a three-dimensional moulding die while wet and then hardened. The dry pre-shaping previously used in the Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) process is no longer required. In hybrid pressing, carbon-fibre fabrics impregnated with resin, also still wet, are placed in a moulding die with sheet steel, then pressed and hardened. This bonds the steel and carbon materials to form a hybrid component. Hybrid components are light, but offer maximum rigidity and outstanding crash performance. Both processes enable highly economical large-scale production of up to several thousand carbon components per day, with compact systems engineering and short cycle times.
Josef Kerscher, head of Plant Dingolfing: “Our preparations for the start of production of the new BMW 7 Series have been intensive. We have been building the BMW brand flagship and technology platform for almost 40 years in Dingolfing. It is an honour and a privilege to continue to provide top quality for our customers around the world. The key to this success lies in our decades of expertise in building premium automobiles and our highly competent and dedicated employees. The structures and new manufacturing technologies for lightweight construction and electrification we established for the BMW 7 Series ramp-up will also benefit other models built at Dingolfing.”

Working for an assembly plant years ago, this plant's lines in the assembly process seem to move faster than ours did, even when human hands on assembly was required. A very interesting video.
Germans should be proud to do the best cars in the world
+nemas problemas oh we are
Yeah, Considering Germans were responsible for starting WWI and WWII
Amazing video. Thanks for sharing!!!
This type of videos are very interesting
You ever watch something like this and imagine what a production line worker in 1920s would say.
I'm more impressed with the intricate performance of the robots.
KUKA Ja!
Henry ford would not believe his eyes
Great video
7 Series ❤ 🇩🇪
Completely missed out the painting process...!
theres a reason. im assuming the dip the whole car or something. they dont want ppl to know

Woow that's amazing technology
Lovely car, I'd take it over an S-Class anyday.
the robots talk more than the workers!
Created with a limited lifespan, like all things are made nowadays. Performance of the car must be fantastic. I trust in the reliability of nineties cars. Nowadays cars work just stunning, while they are new, and up to 300000 kms. After that, it's a disaster. Video is fantastic.
..............................wow
kind of incredible :), thx for vid
Just makes me think of the Terminator!!?
We produced the conveyor system in Pécsvárad, AAT-Várad Kft, they called "Gurtföderer" and "Übergang".
I drilled all of holes on it and screw threads too. Oh...many lot of holes... :)
+Big Jimmy Congratulations.
+Der RechtschreibkontrolleurTM Thanks :)
+Prince Kingman You're welcome :) Little interesting: Robotic arms is "KUKA"...in Hungarian means "TRASH CAN"... :D
Big Jimmy if im not mistaken these are japanese robots
Increíble todo robotizado y la mano humana plin
thx so much & really nice video ! like & Sub !
A lot more manual in Munich than their compatriots up the road in Stuttgart! BMW obviously employs a lot more in terms of manpower than Mercedes-Benz does. Obviously a more casual affair too with all the workers in shorts as part of the uniform...or that's the impression I'm given.
Yeah Audi and BMW make cars the right way Mercedes just use to much automation including the s class production it's more automated then Audis a1 production which isn't good for such a premium vehicle
I was looking forward to seeing the robots install the doors.
A bit of background music would be nicer to watch this :)
Brilliant video though. Loved the details and the robots
+klaxorcyvr
You have a point there :)
+Tim Vels I listen Terminator OST when I watch this
+Tim Vels You can play your own music while you watch. I like it without. :)
Ok y'all
I get it
Tim Vels
Where's the part they put the emblem on?!?
Jordan L reda
what are the four technologies bmw i7 cfrp
👍👍👍👍
is it just me but does it seem like the robots have a personaility?
А где находится это производство? В Америке или в Германии?
Where is this production line situated at?
Alexander судя по светоотражателям у переднего колеса, то это США
Alexander according to deflectors placed near front wheels it seems like its being produced for Us market and probably in US
It's in Dingolfing, Germany.
Türkiye 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Anyone else noticed the lady with the long black hair? Isn't that dangerous?
they seems so unhappy...
why ?
Veritas Man concentration work?
mercedes forever
+Kan Er
exactly,Mercedes just created new series of robots so expect even better quality checks and precision,best company.
I will never look @ BMW the same. That thin aluminum body, even though reinforced with carbon... And those thin aluminum doors... Looks cheap for a 7 series.
Obviously Henry Ford would be impressed by the modern robot technology but not by their ignorant politics.
Henry Ford made car parts that fit almost to all Ford models. By this he took good care of his customers and made them to feel comfort and also made car parts easily available.
But greedy German manufacturers are far from real service to people. They have completely oriented their business to richer people who consist small group of men in the world simply trying to full them as hard as they can.
The same identical models of German cars have completely different parts for ridiculously high price and these makes them also hardly available. Even in case if their cars having manufacture deffects nobody including themselves cannot find source of problem. They solve problem by changing full part like transmission or smt else. They also do not make reliable cars anymore.
In our days only Toyota company has right principles and this company indeed do care of their customers. Their cars also much more simple, comfortable, reliable at the same time cheaper than German cars. Thats why German industry all together sell less car than Toyota itself.
@pedro pepe No he isn't and his parents aren't Germans either.
