@@andreyivanov8591 diesel engines have more torque but BMW'S obviously are not designed for towing......so gasoline is better.. better performance and reliability because diesel's often have misfires its not like gasoline doesn't but not that often and diesel tend to have much more problems frequently

All these N46 engines that have already had the timing chain and valvetronic parts replaced, and are still burning massive amounts of oil, if it hasn't all leaked out by now.

NO! It's a BMW German prison camp where the people of God work to just survive a day in a world they cannot control and is against them. Thank you, I know.✊
I am always astonished when guys at the end of the production line are not wearing gloves - fingerprints and skin oil on a brand new vehicle! On a Japanese production line, virtually every employee wears gloves.
As a Owner of a E90, 2007 BMW 328i to be exact, makes me proud to see how my car is made. N52 keep rolling no matter what 😎
All this E90 content over a decade later. Bit of a hidden gem.
Have a 2008 e90 323i myself. Love the car 14 years after it rolled off the production line, had zero major issues. Great behind the scenes content!
They're solid cars. And this just proves why. I've got an 325i E91 myself. They're very nice.
*What if you're watching this and you're watching YOUR E90 and don't even know it??*
mine was build in Munich
that was obviously a south africa plant
thatd be a dream come true
Mine has been built there and had to check the vin-number but it’s not the same as in 15:10 😂
Mine was built in Germany.
26:01 At first I thought he would be doing a drift test 😅
The sheer precision that they made these cars at all those years ago is amazing...that must be why it is The Ultimate Driving Machine.
Yes, a lot of fun driving it.
Technology combined with labor is poetry in motion...I love my E90 even more.
I own my e90 for the past 5 years and I love my BMW 335xi 2008!! It was nice seeing it how it was built and all
🥰 i love My 325i E90, greetings from Mexico City
I have a 2009 323i best engeneered car i ever owned! Love it !!
Have been here twice , when they were making the lci e90 and the pre lci f series , when i was there, most of the cars on the assembly line were left hand drive destined for USA
This is the South African plant, are you sure you didnt visit the Munich plant?
I'm indeed talking plant Rosslyn in Pretoria, RSA.The factory shown in this video
This is great, Thank You !
AMAZING PROCESS I'M GLAD I DRIVE A BMW E90 2008 6 SPEED.

Very interesting video, loved it! I have a E90 330i and I love it!

I just watched my 335i being built.
In Dingolfing wurden bis 1969 die Glas Goggomobile produziert.
The color of the car in the thumbnail looks like the individual color called Moonstone Metallic, lovely color that!
What method of transporting the part's to the assembly line they use?
My favorite car brand verry nice to drive...
Ma quindi e90 non la facevano in Germania? Io posseggo il restyling del e90 320 xdriver 2009.
I had one of these in white M sport 2011 lci model 320d
Only if there was a time machine to tell them not to put the sticky door handles and bad cup holders in
What kind of steel ist the body make??
Yes that is plant Rosslyn South Africa
I'm honestly between the two as pre-LCI has a better styled bumper but the LCI has that really nice hood and full kidney grill. Such beautiful cars.
The last well made BMW's with great driving dynamics.
I had e90 few years ago...actually I have an F31...definitly I prefer the e90
please make a new one for me! cause my e90 got so much rust everywhere!
Wao! its Great! I have my car E90♪
I wonder how that plastic sunroof drain pipe withstands the acid and primer bath.
I'm looking for the E92 video.
M-Sport i love
Didn’t know that ACC option was available in South Africa
❤ my 320i e91 2012 and my e93 325i 2007... 😊 I love it

They must make all the right hand drive E90’ in that facility 😂
Very early recommended and just after i got my e90 320i
They forgot to put das turn signal bulb in mine.
Is that BMW's south African plant (factory)
Trisdoo o
Either that or they could be... _Black Germans?_
Yeah looking at the street signs and employment looks like proper BEE
It's BMW's refugee plant
Trisdoo o it is definitely in South Africa because the car is right hand drive and the Germans drive on the left
Its on Germafrica
Where were the American E90s built?
😳Nei Nei Nei!!! The Steering Wheel has been placed on the wrong side!!!
5:00 imagine sitting inside that car while robots are working. that would be horrifying
Good probability one of these are my cars this looks like the south African plant where my car was from and it's silver
what is the stuff they dip the car into?
Primer
Amazed that BMW operate this old-tech plant. Nothing like their German factories.
0:26 what is this? some South African shop shop??
NO! It's a BMW German prison camp where the people of God work to just survive a day in a world they cannot control and is against them. Thank you, I know.✊
08 335xi, drop yours below.
they should've paid closer attention to possible oil leak.. my e90 has a serious problem..
perhaps you should have maintained your E90 better
I agree. The valve cover gasket is usually the main suspect
Just dont push your car when its cold and it wont leak
328i gang where u at
This is true German quality
Is it Germany or Africa?
Its on Germafrica
This is the plant in South Africa

You have no idea how dirty are new cars that arrives at dealerships.
They'll get cleaned at the dealership anyway.
Der wird immer noch produziert
Stolzer Türke Nein die letzte der e90 Baureihe wurden 2013 gebaut
I love plastic parts
As much as I like this car, I think it was unreliable even in the factory.
Great car.. but they failed at the engine
M Hero the N54 is a iron clad motor.
V W i got the 320i 4cil n46
M5730d!
Packs a punch!
N46 worst engine, timing chain tensioner huge Problems and diff noises. My 330d M57 got around 292.000km on it and runs like a boss
N52 is best engine
Man merkt, dass die mitarbeiter kein bock zum arbeiten haben...
snaks
E 46 is better
why
whats with these african-american workers?
Not African American, there are no BMW assembly lines in America that build the 3 series.
@@thatoneboy5697 This is not germany dude
@@jimboTTT I know, its the South African plant. Which would make the employees *African* not "African-American"
