I suppose not having a dedicated production line potentially makes this car more profitable for BMW as its a parts bin special.
None of these cars have dedicated production lines. It would make zero sense especially for a low volume car. I've done some work in the Ford manufacturing facilities, its pretty amazing to see so many different models roll through a single line.
