I've done the factory tour in Munich, not Leipzig where our X1's are manufactured, and as far as I can tell, they must be done by order as I can tell you, I watched for a while and saw sedans and wagons intertwined, left hand drive and right hand drive intertwined, one car get undercoated in grey, the next one white, the next one black (they have different undercoats depending on final colour), some with sunroof, others without. There is certainly no batching of generic 10 white, 10 grey, 10 black, etc. It's incredible to watch.
