What it means
Your painted shell has joined the assembly line. From here the car gets its drivetrain, wiring, glass, seats and everything else — the part of the process that looks like a car being built.
This is where BMW’s feed usually starts moving day by day, and where a factory build date tends to appear if one hasn’t already.
