Hawkwing, interesting and informative post!!
You have to agree that the Just-In-Sequence methodolgy, adopted by BMW, specially in it's Leipzig plant design and implementation, allows for just what Jspira was saying. Even then, there will always be certain level of "batching", for instance, as you so eloquently described, the painting step.
Cheers.

In the UK we can order "Sun protection glass" which tints all the windows behind the driver / passenger doors. It is illegal to tint the front doors / windscreen here.
