But does BMW have the same quality control as the Trabant factory?

I’ve never seen this,it was a great watch,unless someone ever invents a time machine that is the closest will get to watching an E30 roll of the production line for real.

I hadn't realised that E30 was conceived entirely as a 2 door. 4 door is so neat I had always assumed both were developed at the same time.

Great job, BMW!

Nothing quite so elegant and perfect from BMW since...

BMW used an enormous amount of skilled hands on labour and it worked, the Travant people did the same to a lower level,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,back in the day, British Leyland etc did not give a shit and boy did it show.
