BMW Motorcycles - Worlds Biggest Motorbike Factory | Full Documentary

The BMW plant in Berlin has been one of the most important international locations in motorcycle construction for decades. Two-wheelers manufactured here are traded worldwide. The product range of the Bavarian automotive group includes a variety of models, including agile cross machines, sporty cruisers or environmentally friendly electric motorcycles. Special wishes? No problem. Bikes that go beyond the usual standard version can also be made to measure in Berlin. Among other things our BMW documentary shows the creation of a BMW S 1000 RR Superbike.

Amazing video on BMW motorcycle plant. You can’t beat German precision engineering and building. These plants today are amazing for the technology that is in them. Those engines in the double R are machined like a fine watch. Almost 300 km/h top speed and just shy of 200 h.p. not to be sneezed at or ridden by a novice.👍👍

I love this video. Man, what a factory, machinery !!! So clean, spotless, a pleasure to see. I got home that evening after watching this and looked at my K1600 GA again and I said, thank you BMW.

This is how a production documentary should be made. 👏

Incredible. When I got to see my bike dealer prepped out of crate from Berlin I was amazed at the care in packing. Seeing how it was built makes me want to put it in the living room as a work of art!

I see why my BMW bike rides the way it does now. Incredible video built by Master Craftsmen thank you very much🤙

As much as I'm attracted to the sex appeal of a BMW, I find that the reliability and performance of a HONDA makes it competitive in the showroom, and on the track.

Beauty video.
From start to finish.
The work ratio of human to the machine must me nuts.

And still spanked by the R1. That's just great.

Amazing video. They obviously had special access to the factory. Animations are professionally done. It amazes me that they can afford so much automation for motorcycles made in such limited quantities (compared to cars). Think it's hard to build a production line for a motorcycle? They run eight different models down the same production line. If I got the 34 motorcycles every two hours right that means that each stage has 211 seconds to complete operations. U shaped lines are used so that more or fewer workers can work on the line (you can turn around to work on the second station (if necessary). Cellular manufacturing. This allows them to cope with changes in demand (as well as changing the 211 seconds per station (takt time)). Of course, there are separate sub-assembly lines as well as final assembly. 15:35 "The hose for the air box is secured with a kind of surgical clamp." Back in the '60's we used to call those "roach clips". While the video mostly covered manufacturing, they did touch on product development. Racing is a confirmation of the correctness of the design and the correctness of the manufacturing.

I will stick to my CBF1000 but kuddos on that documentary, to BMW for letting us tour this beautiful plant and their teams for their tremendous work

[nspinicelli]

This is the coolest documentary I've never seen!

[ethantalbot]

Absolutely love my 2016 S1000RR, Since owning it and now watching this just confirms how precision German engineering makes for unbelievable riding experience! Love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️

[raynoldrapsing]

i admire how Germans worked and also their knowledge in Engineering. Very precised and almost quality Engineering tools and machines were made in Germany.

[kashy]

Hands down best documentary I’ve ever seen!

[Offender]

8:49 THe 4 cylinder ONLINE engine... I wonder whet bandwidth it has.

[rewmeister]

As the proud owner of the 2019 RR and previously a 2017 R, this a special video. Getting to see the production of these amazing machines is so cool, thanks for the upload!

[robertharvey]

Very impressed, Master craftsmanship is applied throughout the complete build processes. I salute the staff behind BMW.

[kevskibiz]

Incredible German engineering, the minds behind the robots and machines making the motorcycles ....let alone the bikes mind blowing, 👊

[grantbradley]

Pretty amazing video. I recently took delivery on my 8th BMW, a 2022 triple black 1250RT with sport alloy wheels. A work of art.😊
