Great video of modern car construction at its most efficient. Its amazing to watch what is a very desirable car being assembled in what looks like a few hours handy work.

The C- Class line is even more impressive.
If you look at the BMW 7 series production line they actually look and act very unprofessionally compared to the Mercedes staff perhaps its because its a lower volume machine?

Great Vids!

Imagine Henry Ford coming back and seeing how the modern production line is today compared to his 100 years ago. Incredible what automation can do.

Of course then you have the ford factory goofing around:
