3:50 what a relief!!! finally someone listening to music while working! I was already thinking how monotonous it must be to work in this location just listening to the machines.
Rather strangely, BMW isn't everyone's toy or car. It isn't gas and goes car, which all you need to know is how to drive. It is something where both cars and driver needs to pay attention to it during its life.
It's no wonder the injectors and glow plugs are so difficult to remove when replacements are required, using aluminium for the head and steel for the injectors and glow plugs is a bad move if you don't oil them on assembly because those two metals react with each other making it hard to remove them some years ahead.
Americans dont care about CO2, they only care about other emmisions. So the petrol engines are cleaner in that regard. And they think anything over 20 mpg is great. Petrol is cheep.
Are those block made of Iron or aluminum? I would worry if aluminum as the high compression of a diesel could be a problem. All truck engines in American use a iron block or Ford uses some kind of speical block made in house. I guess they could use aluminum as it is a very small diesal engine and its not for towing like 10,000 pounds like a truck.
Aluminium, BMW have used aluminium blocks on their diesels for years - 2005 for the M57TU2. Aluminium has a better strength to weight ratio than steel.
Otherwise those technoslaves will get out to a street to look for drugs, but here they are under full control, they have a dream to pay credit and they have a good wage to do it. Not more, but they are happy.
Is it just me, or do you guys notice Benz workers have better attitude and seem more skilled than BMW workers? Look at the AMG 6.3 engine being assembled.
Are you kidding me? You don't just run a bolt or nut with impact especially when everything is not aligned. These people should take more pride in their jobs your getting paid regardless.
