The BMW plant in Berlin-Spandau has been one of the most important international locations in motorcycle construction for 47 years. Two-wheelers made here are traded worldwide. The product range of the Bavarian automobile manufacturer includes a variety of models, including agile cross-bikes, sporty cruisers, and eco-friendly electric motorcycles. Special wishes? No problem. Bikes that go beyond the usual standard version can also be made to measure in Spandau.

![[ Top 5] Japanese inimitable manufacturing process! amazing Japanese craftsmen!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/6fq9tLGOoOk/mqdefault.jpg)
At the age of 17 I had the opportunity to have a personalized tour of that plant for an entire day the year was 1978! The material comes in one end and motorcycles come out the other! Several things blew me away, one was at break time, a person with a kart selling food items and beer, yes beer was sold I’m not kidding (only in Germany) the other was the engine assembly area. It was a large U shaped table/ area that started at one end with empty cases and at the other the nines would go through a door and put on one of three test cells the timing was amazing. The last one was the pinstriping, they three women hand pinstriping the tanks and if any type of mistake was made (very rare) they would throw out the tank, but that was true of any part of a bike! They never tried to repair anything in those days, if it wasn’t perfect it did not go on the bike! It’s a memory I will never forget!
I spent a semester abroad in Munich (1970), and at break time we were offered beer and white sausage, at 10am! We were amazed -- the Germans took it very casually. Only one beer per student, but it was a big 32 ounce glass. German engineering set the standard for the rest of the world. If you take a look at movies made here in the U.S. in the 1930's and compare them to movies made in the 40's, you will see a dramatic improvement in sharpness of the screen image. This was due to our appropriation of German technology in the making of camera lenses. Germany has always led the way in manufacturing genius. The quality of their products set the standard for the rest of the world.
@@garygruber1452 There is much your country could learn from Germany, or most other countries. But you won't.
I was stationed in England in '75 & '76, purchased a 1976 BMW R60/6, picked it up in London, road all over England & Scotland. Rode through France, Monte Carlo, Italy, Switzerland, Germany (Munich, but had I know where the MC factory was, could have visited there) on to Nederlands to ferry back to England... That was an Amazing time....and that same BMW motorcycle is in my garage today!
@@Katchi_Like what for example?
What happens when you have to go to the bathroom?
EV motorcycles would be a travesty. 🤮
Yes But they could be even faster from 0-300km/Hr 🫣
Wich would be insaine!!
Dont like the short range of most EV cars!👎🏻Guess it Will come and get Way better in few years 🤷🏼♂️ (3-400km in one charge…?) And they actually Can run for 250km
But the Sound and feel of the gasoline engine?? EV cannot match 💯🤷🏼♂️
Bikes are on the way. Once the charging time and range are looked after it'll be great. You've obviously never ridden an electric motorbike that you set up yourself. There's nothing like it. My woods bike is 35kg and does 70+kmh and absolutely rips. At low speed. It's got 120Nm of torque at an instant. No it's not crazy amount but you can pick the bike up with one hand and it'll tow a car.
What do you mean "would"??
Inn Australia they already exist and are fkn great.
If you have solar panels, you basically never pay for charge/fuel again.
What's your issue with EV?
Seems like you've been brainwashed by the biased evening news
90% of the comments are angry over grammar, or talking trash about BMW. LOL... dudes need to relax. Its just a video about manufacturing. If you split hairs this much, how can you even ride a motorcycle? frekin chill
Not liking a BMW is "splitting hairs"?? 🤔🤨
and yet you complain about them
Been a qualified bike mechanic and spent many years working in different dealerships, nothing beats the quality and performance of a Japanese bike, Europe’s bikes and even UK bikes have many issues and the price of parts!
Not for me! I spend my money on Japanese bikes.
Good for you, but to each his own.
My experiience with Japanese bikes is the parts are obsolete in just a few short years. There is no aftermarket for those parts, so the used ones are canibalized. Unlike HD's which have a great support aftermarket
39:34 😂😂😂
@@martincvitkovich724 we're talking bikes here.
KTM/Husky/Gas-Gas are the better brand of MX and Off-Road bikes now.
Fun fact: this plant had to add another shift just to keep up with all the bikes Max Wrist crashes
I love how the sealant machine at 6:42 makes a mess right as the narrator says a human couldn't do it as precisely.
😂 I liked that too😅
Yet a human does it perfectly precisely at the Japanese Yamaha factory... Lmfao.
The machine does it perfectly. Right up to the point where it shoves some sealant into the engine😂
Whaaaaat? There was no mess, only a tail of sealant behind the applicator, but that did not get into any unwanted areas.
It's a twist on the Heisenberg principle - works perfectly accurately and predictably, until someone wants to look at it.
*_Con rads? LOL. Oh boi.... here we go...._* The small white plastic things do not help guide the pistons on the rod, they protect the crack journals from damage from the connecting rod bolts. It's really sad that this new generation has no idea how to speak English properly. They have no technical speak and no idea what they are talking about.
This whole narration was read by a robot. Who knows what language the person writing that actually speaks primarily.
In 73, I tested my 71 Rd 350, 2 stroke, under " real world" conditions. At 16, in the mountains, with a good buzz on, a hit of acid, and a few beers. How I lived this long, not sure. I ride an R1 now. Cheesh.
I know someone just like that😂 except now I ride a Kawasaki Z 400 way below the radar
Takes me all day, to change a tire. Now I really feel inferior.
You will have to pick your game up mate 😂😂
@@paulbarnes6124 Old split rims, that occasionly get rusted/ stuck to the rim, which makes for a worst case scenario. They can be pretty stubborn.
Well that was great. When I was a teen I met Burt Munro in Christchurch New Zealand at a race meeting. I actually had a chat with him and yes saw his bike. I don't know how he could ride that thing it was so close to the ground. I also raced my bike on the beach at Invercargill where he did his work. It was a timed quarter mile I think. I stalled at take off silly me and was disqualified. Lovely days for me touring the country on my bike with mates. Cheers.
Very cool video. Personally I'd never buy a BMW bike. My 08 Zx-10 has been through hell over it's 15k miles. Only issue was the voltage regulator that Kawasaki covered via recall. Literally change the oil, race, change tires and enjoy. Oh... I had to replace the clutch cable one time.
Every friend that had a BMW always had issues and messed up our rides.
45k on my BMW. Change the tires, brakes, and fluids and renew the clutch.
I met chaps in England in the mid '70's with 200k-300k miles on their old BMW Boxers....but they are simple machines comparatively
An '08 with only 15,000 miles? Do you even ride, bro?!
@@maximusmax4557 It's not my only motorcycle.

Equipped with "Conrads"!

Internet of things
With Bluetooth final drive !
2:00 "...1 every 65 seconds" Well NOW we know why the BMW s1000RR has been having SO many issues. Maybe you should SLOW DOWN a bit and do some QC stuff before shipping the product? Just an idea...
Kawasaki have 4 divisions to it that work on their motorcycles the Germans can’t compete
This is where the worker becomes a robot and timed to the second. What happens if you need a dump?
They probably have a robot to take care of that so the worker doesn't have to leave his station. I think they call it the wipeyurasswhileyoukeepworkingschmittunstink.

Part of being a biker is having a lovely sounding engine AND being able to switch off from the world n not having loads of data & connectivity from the world thrown in your face. The only thing you want is to have things that'll make your ride safer n that's it.
Garbage in comparison to any of the big three Japanese brands.
I don't miss television productions. So much cringe.
Husqvarna owners sold out -don’t blame BMW
Don't want a bike I can't work on.
Yet Yamaha #1 in reliability. I know. I had a 03 R6 and now MT10. Still, great motorcycles these BMWs.
Yamaha regularly tops many reliability rankings while BMW typically lands somewhere in the middle of the reports. If people purchased motorcycles strictly on reliability then all the Italian brands should have been out of business decades ago.
Honda too!
@@thekenthouse6428Absolutely. Style and trick parts were Italian hallmarks but despite high retail prices, you often couldn’t rely on them.
Documentary says 8 days ago but a meticulous knows this was at least 4 years ago. Headlights
And the outdated instrument cluster.
I saw this video somewhere else several years ago. Still re-watched it though. A bike is still a bike no matter what flavour you prefer.
I like the asymmetrical headlights.
Gives it “personality”
I would NEVER own a BMW. BMW bought Husqvarna and then stopped making parts for all previous models. Any company that would purposely SCREW motorcyclists, the way they did deserves to go bankrupt.
I dont think you understand the broader picture. Powersports has still never recovered from the recession almost 15 years ago. There is simply unsustainable demand. Well over half of all dealers went bankrupt and closed. Manufacturers are also going belly up. There is simply no way to cover costs, and they cant operate at a loss making parts that have so little demand, INDEED, they were already operating at a loss for several years. I dont think you understand man, Powersports is in BIG TROUBLE. Support your local dealers, PAY WHAT THEY ASK, keep them on the map so that the manufacturers also stay open. The alternative is, you will be riding a Chinese Electric POS model after everyone goes bankrupt.
Yeah, but you gotta admit it's smart business on their end. As you say, one time customer is no more
Bmw..never....i owned 2 cars and 3 motorcycles..never again..i ride honda now.
Cars warentee..40,000...lame.
Get over it. Husky is garbage you can’t blame them
By using the K5GSXR as a template; BMW hit a home run the 1st time out in 2010. It was Bike of the year too (‘10). This bike is the reason why the Big Japanese 4 went back to drawing board and made their bikes better than ever. Any year S1K is a solid choice for road/track. Most pick it if only 1 bike were in the garage. Nothing made 178whp in 2010 (999cc). Heated grips was a 1st on a SS from factory too.😊
The K46 hasn't been produced since 2018. So this video is at least five years old. Bring us the production video of the K67 please.
The way they make the big end by laser scoring them then cracking them apart is genius. I learned something. It will be tragic when all this engineering beauty is replaced by a battery and a motor.
But current battery technology is actually worse than internal combustion engine's so in all honesty not going to happen for a good while yet. Tree huggers can cry into there carrot juice iff they wish but lithium batteries are stuffing up the world more and my diesel will in its lifetime before the owner even signs the log book
I know here we are evolving with the combustion motor, i mean really bringing out every inch of power possible and ride freindlly, i doubt 60 years ago theyd see the amazing machines of today being made, and the crazy tree huggers want it no more, i do think its going to be some time before they get there way but they eventually will so hang on to those early muscle cars and bikes because they are going to be worth millions one day and the oil giants have a good bit of pull so until theyre defeated either by no more oil to be drilled or idiots with pea size brains which ever comes first, im just glad my life time got to experience the V8 and V twin rumble, nothing like it
All mfgs make their con rods that way now.
Got a chance to tour this facility back in 2018, mighty impressive.
If BMW could be more competitively priced to the Japanese bikes I’d love to have one. I sold BMW cars 20 years ago. But I bought my 2023 Hayabusa in October it is as refined and powerful and I got it brand new marked down to $15,300. You’ll never see a BMW priced like that.
A Hayabusa is a boat anchor compared to a BMW S1000RR.
@@vxe6vxe6 Your ignorance of nuance is showing child. This from someone who rides a KLR comical.
They build one every 90 minutes. I dismantled mine in 9 seconds after cartwheeling it over the tyre wall racing. 😅
And to think, you did it without BMW special tools.
The future of motorcycling is dire. Connectivity is a disease in cars and bikes. its just an abolition of skills, responsibility, engagement and fun.
What?? 🤔
life in general
inline, online, con rod, con rad...
Super interesting video and probably similar to what goes on in any of the modern motorcycle factorys. What differs most about BMW vs the major Japanese manufacturers is seen at the very end of the video; shipping their expensive product in a shrink-wrapped see-thru metal framed container. Back in the 80s when I worked at a Yamaha shop that had BMW as a side-line, they shipped them in wooden containers that were open about 2' in the middle and only covered by plastic, sort of like a box-kite is made, but horizontal. Still have a bunch of the straps that were used to hold the bikes in place. I think their philosophy is that if the freight-forwarding employees can see what their handling, they'll be more careful not to stick a fork thru the container. Gotta wonder if it works.
there seems to be a problem with the sound quality on this video, at about 32.0 mins is it goes a bit quiet and after, at several places, then at 47:26 mins it disappears completely!.. BMW would not allow such poor quality to leave their assambly plant so why is this video depicting theit manufacturing allowed to do so??
Copyrighted music I’m assuming. Had to be edited after posting
Powersports are in trouble for a more than a decade now. What a shame
At 31:32, the (automated?) narrator says, "Filters in the last 65 meters of the conveyor belt are responsible for the fuel tank, the fairing, and the electronic system", and the video's transcript confirms those words. As "filters" don't do anything in the assembly process, I would think that the intended word may be "fitters", referring to the humans who fit parts onto the bikes. Interestingly, the word "filters" sounds different from the other words in the video, as if it was patched in as a correction.
Very astute observation. I heard it too, but didn't give it a whole lotta thought, but have heard similiar mis-pronunciations in other videos that were narrated by someone who obviously was just reading a script.
Yes very astute observation. Your mother must be proud.
The BMW motorcycle production videos are the best in cycledom. I do prefer their un-narrated versions, however. I ride a BMW so this is especially meaningful to watch. Fabulous industrial engineering in setting up a plant like this one. Incredible.
I hardly think the bikes made in USA are stiff competition 🙄
i thought the same thing and came looking for this comment. Japan and Italy would've been more accurate
"One bike made every 65 seconds". Why does the dealer charge 2 hours and $300 to change my oil? Limp mode is even quicker, happens in a millisecond but takes 8 months to fix.
The woman putting stripes on the bike has crazy eyes.
This was like a big huge BMW commercial. Hope you were paired well.
14:45 faces stiff competition from Japan, and... the United States? We could only wish, but not really. Great documentary no doubt, just a few years old.
I had a chuckle at that too. AI generated script much? I suppose Austria and Italy will one day build a competitive sportbike 😐
@@rjanzen3810Ducati...
Fascinating. I learned a lot and enjoyed every minute.
I love the looks and performance of bmw bikes. I will probably never own one because of the expensive parts, specialty tools/software, less reliable than Japanese bikes and limited dealer support. Same with bmw autos.
what an uninformed opinion. I ride a RnineT and all I've ever had to do is change the oil every season. There's a reason the most popular and produced police bike in the world is the BMW R 1250 RT-P.
@@rwa96 I hope you have a nice savings for those major repairs coming soon😁
I think you have a misguided opinion of BMW Motorrad, at least I don't ride a total POS vtwin harley.@@opichocal
In December 2023 I had booked a few days in Berlin to see the Christmas Markets. I then found that BMW Motorrad offered factory tours and there was one during the time I was in Berlin, so I booked it. You don't get to see the engine manufacturing shop but you do get to see the bikes being assembled and some of the test stations. For anyone interested in manufcaturing or motorbikes, it's well worth it (IMHO). The BMW motorbike factory is in Spandau on the outskirts of Berlin
I watched a youtube video of the #1 Chinese Motorcycle Manufacturer Chin Shin. It was a single cylinder 250 cc bike. The guy put the exhaust system on in less than 10 seconds. I can't guarantee it stayed on the bike after the customer rode it but it went on quick!
No. It has a ALUMINIUM frame. You RIDE a bike, not DRIVE a bike.
Attention BMW Please give me a s1000rr and I’ll be very grateful.
I still say all the machines, robotics and how precision they have to be. Moreover the folks that keep all that infrastructure in order blows my mind. Hats off to those fine people.😂❤❤
I have a 2024 S1000RR. Full race exhaust and ECU tune. Incredible speed machine.
$18,000 for a highly complex BMW motorcycle and they still use zip ties. 🤔
You said that bmw face stiff competition from Japan and usa. It's not usa it's UK triumph.
Wait... so it is built beginning to end in two hours, but once the line is full, and going, how many bikes are produced per hour or day??
I imagine that depends on how long the line is?? Or can we say the line is "two hours long"??
I'm saying this bc Tesla is producing a car even sixty (?) seconds... that is what they said in one of their meetings.
800 scooters and motorcycles every day
one two-wheeler every 65 seconds
Lead time is the time from the start of final assembly to the end of final assembly for the same motorcycle. Takt time is the time between two motorcycles coming off the end of the assembly line. The number of stages is at least the Lead time divided by the takt time. The average stage time is about 80% of the takt time, since it varies, and you want to avoid stalling the whole assembly line. Welding the twin spar aluminum frame was cool.
@@MikusVilsons
800 schoolers AND motorcycles every DAY, that is 24 hours a day...
meaning 800/24....33.3333333333333 ??? Right?
But the question was how many MOTORCYCLESSSSSS a day or hour... I do thank you Sr, I do... but why can no one give a straight answer?? for someone familiar with the factory it SHOULD roll down the tongue easily.
Or am I asking the wrong question bc there are other factors??
Just read the answers and see... it should be a single whole number; or a range between two numbers like,
How many motorcycles a day?? between 600 to 900 or something like that. Why is that so difficult?
@@ggrthemostgodless8713you said "bikes" not motorcyclesssssss. That's why it's so difficult. *scooters. schoolers lol
Fantastic mechanical engineering and good documentary. No word, shot or time was wasted, just like efficient work pace and use of time in the factory. 10 stars 🌟
The U shape assembly line was invented by the Japanese after visiting Americas straight lines. On a U line you can do your job then another one on the other side of the product.
@@fukhue8226 Very efficient and intelligent
clear varnish, or clear epoxy? I've never heard of varnish being sprayed on a motorcycle.
Quite an improvement over my 1954 BSA 650CC Golden Flash.
Just wait to see how bmw treats you if you need warranty
I hate these bikes but it's because of the idiots who wind them up down the boulevard, weaving in and out of cars at twice the speed limit. They're made for the race track and most of the riders are wanna-be champions. They are a danger and a menace on the highways.
I’m 66 years old and still luv to do that on my R1…I loved the look that last state patrolman gave me when he pulled me over and looked at me and my drivers license … I asked , not who you were expecting… he said no, laughed and gave me a warning… as Hickok 45 says…life is good…..
To all you crazy speeders
Life is not a race ........
Anyone can twist a throttle too far.
The skill is twisting it and appreciating the consequences.
Going too fast is total lack of skill.
If your going to speed like lightening your going to crash like thunder.
If you ride like there's no tomorrow, one day there won't be 😅
Yeah, but the organs donated by the menaces help a lot of decent people with brains.
Ironic that for the rider it's a widow maker, but for the organ recipient it might prevent someone from being a widow.
It all equals out.
The conrod manufacturing was awesome. Thanks for sharing. Great doc overall!
whilst undoubtably good engineering etc, I'd hate to work there. Soul destroying.
Looking at the title, I thought this was going to be about Orange County Choppers.
Stiff competition from the United States? Yeah, right after the rest of Europe, India, China😂
Never heard of Harley Davidson? They sell a few cruiser bikes.
@@dizzywow Yeah, sorry. My mistake. The Mug and T Shirt company, right?
This should end the soft vs hard break in discussion. Dude was absolutely ripping on it as soon as it left the assembly line lol
BMW isn't the end all, know it all, of engine technology. They have their way, and others have their way.
Put it this way, I've NEVER seen an owners manual for ANY internal combustion engine powered vehicle that states in the owners manual to "absolutely rip on" the brand new vehicle the second it leaves the lot. In fact, a new Corvette's engine ECU limits the power it can produce for the first 500 miles, and THEN it opens up and allows full power.
Just because some schmuck at the factory rips on the bike right as it leaves the line, does NOT mean that it is the proper way to break it in. It was most likely done because a video crew was filming it.
I had a 1000+ h.p. big block built for one of my drag cars. The builder didn't simply strap it to the dyno, fill it with oil, start it up, and immediately start making 1000h.p. pulls.
He ran it in for some time, heat cycled it several times, and changed the oil, before the pulls started.
@@davelowets I was at The Bologna Ducati Factory back in 2019, I watched a Panigale taken straight off the Production line to the glass dyno at the end, it was revved to the red line in every gear and held flat out in top for around 20 seconds. It was warmed up though.
Yu aren't the end all either@@davelowets I think BMW knows more than you.
it was rev'd without load for probably less then a minute. just pumping air.
He only took it up to less 1/2 of it’s advertised top speed. I wouldn’t consider that ripping. Plus it was only for a short period of time.
Red White and Blue used to be HONDA colours 40 years ago ⚠️
So many issues with the RR blowing engines and BMW not covering under warranty. BMW has fallen from grace. I wont ever buy another BMW auto or bike.
I Am a Harley guy but i must admit bmw goes all out building these.great video
These things are cheap and inexpensive, high maintenance.
Nothing 'exceptional' about these pieces of junk.

It's like their preparing themselves for something big.

4:29 "...four little ends..." wrong, these are the connecting rod BIG ends, the little ends go onto the gaugeon pins in the pistons (shown here at 3:38).
5:32 Cylinder head goes on without valves then miraculously 5sec later they found a way to be installed, with springs no less.
Who does your editing?
Henry Ford, would be amazed.
How is it that Germany can make cars, bikes, dishwashers, knives, watches and more but not a battery powered drill? It looks like the women's eye makeup was applied by a robot as well. And where will the kick come from on an electric bike? Electric motors have 100% torque at zero miles/hour so maybe that.
Very impressive. However: no one can explain why these powerful racing machines (an many others) are being allowed to run on public rds.
They belong on a racetrack, not public rds.
A lotta people who buy them, have no experience of racing on closed circuits.
Its a lethal combination...
I do love these videos, and the S1000RR is an amazing machine, but not sure when this was made. Many BMW's are actually made in Germany, while ironically Ducati's are also made in Germany since being bought by VW group.
Since you (any one with common sense) can no longer rely on BMW to make a reliable automobile you also can't rely on them for making motorcycles either, especially the outrageous price they're charging for them.
Agree 100%. And I'm a qualified Suzuki/ Kawasaki mechanic.
Japan > Germany
mine gott dumkopf
Do you own, or have you ever owned a BMW, MC, or what kind of common sense do you have. I personally, prefer good sense, what ever happens to be "common" is simply "common." Your BS opinion is a good example of "common."
When a BMW breaks down people lose their minds when a Honda breaks down nobody bats an eye
Why build them so fast?
Issue can only come from a fatigued/rushed work force.
Just go a bit slower and double check your work. Instead of 2 hour build, a 3 hr still sounds unreliable
Well I'm afraid "consept" sounds like - we fool you - this will never be built.
Onestly telling costumers what will come is better.
Please do not tell me something will come, that wont be.
I always wanted to design a bike where the block is the frame and everything bolts to it, Swing arm front shocks pegs etc.. Then i would build the turbo into the block and it would be oiled and cooled as one system.
Great video. Very detailed and with great filming and narration
6:52 a human wouldn't have left the bit of sealant come off.
All these jobs will be gone in a few years, if I was a factory worker I'd be doing whatever I can to reskill myself.
Exquisite complexity. Now- just don't DROP the damn thing. ALL motorcycles will go DOWN sometime.
And the speed limit is still the same
What a waste. Why is there a need to make so many motorcycles a day? The environmental waste. From the materials that make the bikes to the fossil fuels to run the factory. We as humans are just wasting and wasting and wasting...
Honda is way much better
Making motorcycles that keep dealer service centers VERY busy. Very similar to Harley Davidson. 🗑️
Amazing factory, if I can even call it that old terminology!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Motorcycle helmets will not be needed" congratulations, dumbest thing ever said in the world of motorcycling.
"I work at the BMW high-performance engine plant.."
"Oh, wow. What do you do there?"
"Umm, I plug holes in the engine with rubber caps, and insert 2 long bolts so that the crane can pick it up."
"😒🤨"
I know these bikes are for few people, but I'm happy to see that some things can't be made in China or India.
I don’t think they’re varnished! A clear polyurethane finish, more likely! 🤭😯🤔
These blokes look like they are all under the pump. Make sure you hit your kpi or your out. It would be a long and tiring day.
I just visited a motorcycle factory in China. They also said they are biggest in the world.
Good job. Now swap it all over and start making them electric. I want it cheap too! I’m poor!
what horrible place to work,everything timed to the second,forget about even going to the restroom.
Installing the “Conrads” 😂
Is this the new Modern Marvels?
Did Disney sue over "Marvels" being used? I can only assume
I never see it at MOTOGP, WHY? I own a 2016 R1200RT. Great ride.🇺🇸🗽✝️
or as most people refer to them, connecting rods, DYE-NA-MOM-EH-TER is the machine that measures torque and power output. varnish? that's a new one. is it a wooden bike? i need to re-watch it. i had no idea.
My favorite was the “online” 4-cylinder engine. You wouldn’t download an engine
Exhaust up to 100°? My balzak gets up to 100°. Im not impressed.
In this video they should use the term connecting rod, not con-rod. Con-rod is a shortened term used by mechanics and engineers, not the general public. It sounds pseudo hip being used here. Get real.
