I guess the dash is delivered from a subsupplier and at Spartanburg they just plug it in. And the dash itself is probably human-assembled; doubt that they use a robot for that. After all, one of the reasons for BMW to go to SC were the labor costs.
Btw: Have around 900mls/1450km, and started to use he engine more when passing or merging (or just leaving idiotic cluster-fucks behind me). And the thing flies! Even without downshifts, let alone kickdown, the "in-gear" acceleration is remarkable.
