BMW introduces a new technology in 2008 which is 5-series door panels by using a single sheet of material, typically the door panels that have multiple colors have multiple pieces. According to the article “That adds weight and expense to the final assembly, not to mention all the eventual squeaks and rattles. The new 5 series door panels use a single backing panel, and a two color film is applied. It's not a trifle to get everything to line up – as the film is applied, it stretches. Tolerances where the two colors converge are tightly monitored” I think BMW will definitely reach its goal this year.
