Arrow Video: Secret Prototype – Deep inside BMW’s Research and Innovation Center



Definitely a must watch if you're a BMW enthusiast! BMW gives us an quick inside look at how they develop prototype vehicles that make it to mass production. Makes me proud to drive a BMW and want to go back to school to become an engineer!

Open house at BMW this month. A new video just posted on Youtube takes us behind the scenes of BMW’s Research and Innovation Center in Munich. Plant Zero builds the very first versions of each new BMW Group model…by hand.

Curious to see how BMW camouflages their car? The video shows both the fake body parts made out of plastic and also the psychadelic camouflage that became an industry standard.

Furthermore, the video makes a reference to a “0 Vehicle”, and at 5 min into the video, a blurred prototype appears. Talk about teasing….

It's always fun to get an inside look at this stuff. Especially working in an automotive plant myself, I like to compare how things go there with how we do it.
