Not not quite that long, im only a young nipper, ive seen alot though, the factory has changed beyond what it use to be and as for the bonus per record broken, ha! they expect even more. 51 engine per hour is the current target, let me tell you that is hard

You have to go to Brazil to make R52 engines, so no wonder its much harder

I have a friend that works at Bentley and they move round the factory on different jobs to keep it interesting, is that something BMW do?

True the 52 are made in Brazil but thats only the tiny engine, people forget the whole engine dress takes over an hour per engine.you've got the gear box, struts, brake discs, manifolds, oil, electrics, . there's a lot to do. with 46 people working on the. The 52 is tough.
No rotation of jobs im afraid, become a pro on your job and you normally get stuck with it. There are some nasty jobs out there. Clutch slave is a *****.
