When they make cars together with BMW
Toyota note that while BMW test the assembled car quite extensively, BMWs were equally surprise at the level of testing down to component level.
“…BMW couldn’t believe how extensive some of our quality and efficiency studies were as parts came into shape one by one. We would take every bit down to a fastener or rivet, and put it through our stringent quality control and a dozen other testing, we’d ship thousands of parts back to Japan for analysis. That is normal to us. Each piece we test at our level, they were now the ones surprised.”
