I know he says it often but how do we know this is HIS specific car that he's been given access to see? That's a pretty common build and I don't see him in any of the factory shots (we all know Schmee is not shy with being on camera and you can see what looks like a long-haired individual recording in the reflection at 10:18...).

I feel like this is just great marketing on his part though rather than some super unique access he's getting.

Shmee has to be one of the most annoying people alive. Hate that guy.

Orange peel is done on purpose.

BMW US Manufacturing had video of customers X3 when production switched from Austria to the US years ago to promote custom P1 orders (it would encourage additional higher profit margin options to be ordered). It was viewed in your BMWUSA.com portal. Didn't last too long, as I saw my production video.

Orange peel removal and paint correction are two different things. Both will cost more than $600 and manufacturers have no interest in hiring/training and implementing this process into their operations as 99% people don’t care.

He did specify in the video that he wasn't allowed to physically be present in the factory due to Covid restrictions.

Wouldn't trust the guy who makes millions saying ONLY positive things about cars. Rarely does Shmee tell the full truth in his "reviews". This is why I stopped watching him years ago. Car makers give him insane access cause he bends over for every manufacturer

The fact this guy calls it a "schmeemobile" is reason enough in my view, to prohibit him from ever owning one.

The US gets a slightly different taillight from the rest of the world, due to some archaic brake/turn signal photometric size requirement but overall, it's the same design.

I always love watching BMWs being assembled at the factory but listening to this guy is like a bad case of menstrual cramps.

Was surprised to see how close different coloured cars were being sprayed simultaneously in the booth.

My friend calls him Shmee Ginger Teeth 150, always get a kick outta that. Him and ARCHIE HAMILTON HERE are some of the most annoying YouTubers at the moment, and that un-informative supercar blondie?

Makes my blood boil that people are paid to spew marketing lines for car companies and then get preferential treatment LOL

I went in to try to test drive the new M3/M4, nope not allowed for anyone...except YouTubers, gotcha... Not even as a long time BMW owner...jeeze

Why would BMW hitch their wagon to this guy? Is it because he agreed to praise them no matter what? He is the one of the worst if not the worst automotive yt "reviewers."

Yeah I love seeing these how-it's-made factory videos, but I could go the rest of my days without ever hearing "SchmeeMobile" again.
