It's actually about an hour from Munich and located at a town called Regensburg. Pretty much everything is done at the factory from steel pressing to spraying, and everything is more or less automated like you see in the pictures. The amazing part is the accuracy of the sequencing of engines+transmission+subframe when "married" to the chassis.  In Kulim, the plant is considered as a Low Volume Production Plant (LVP). The car shell is fully imported and hence now its now as SKD (Semi Knocked Down) instead of CKD (Completely Knocked Down). The assembly line resembles a horse shoe, and the shell is fixed on a moveable jig and moved from one end till the other end. However the testing procedures remains similar to what I saw in Germany. Nevertheless it is always interesting to see how a car is assembled and I am sure all of you will enjoyed it. Cheers</blockquote>
