Why would it? My university engineering out-placement and holiday work included placement at a helicopter manufacturer, hovercraft manufacturer and aerospace defence research establishment.

Engineering student placement in industry is a well established practice around the world.

FYI, BMW Plant Spartanburg, BMW’s largest production facility in the world does this heavily in all departments. This post was meant to be a joke. No worries.

Heck, I'll volunteer working for free at the plant if it could help get my M2 any quicker.

From what was written, the people who will be assembling the M2s will have received special training
above the other plant workers. Don't forget that plant also produces certain 2 series and 3 series cars so who knows what those students will be putting their hands on.

Something else to keep in mind. The amount of automation at SLP is significantly more than any other BMW manufacturing facility.

I would actually pay, as part of my order, to fly down and help build my own car. And sign a waiver while I'm at it!

That's not going to stop all the worrywarts from freaking out. This will be the new version of ZOMG!!! M2 production is delayed!!! I'm getting an M3!!!

Wait, so you're saying the new M2 is built in Mexico by a bunch of interns?!?! That's it, I'm calling my SA and switching the order to an M8.

I'd pay to volunteer if it got individual color freed up. Even if it was slower. I'd go down for a week to volunteer.

Ok I give, I'd pay too. So it looks like three of us would volunteer; maybe we can go down as team Bimmerpost G87. I guess this gives us some thing to dream about while waiting for build slots.

Who would you trust to build your M2, the student interns or Bimmerpost members?

I wouldn't trust me, but hey, I want individual color that badly.

I bet there are some members here that are very capable at adapting to build cars. My mechanical engineering background with manufacturing could surely help out some where besides sweeping floors.

My attention to detail would be problematic, my car would take months to build. I'm sure I'd also figure out how to do a sunroof delete.

I'd probably be able to help in a constructive manor, but would hate if I did mess up, so I'd be ok with sweeping floors or cleaning windows or even clean the paint booth.

BMW would never let you even close to the paint booth, knowing how bad you want individual paint.

Ha, same!

If I got near the paint booth everyone would be getting individual paint.

I have no idea how these three got individual paint.
