"We are proud and excited to have been selected as a differential
supplier to BMW," said Bill Carroll, Dana's acting president and chief
operating officer. "Dana is committed to continuous improvement and process
advancements that enable us to meet BMW's stringent requirements for this
performance vehicle."
Dana utilised a high-speed, environmentally-friendly machining process to
cut the gears to the precise dimensions required to meet the final system
specifications.
The front differential components are assembled at Dana's new
manufacturing facility in Orangeburg, S.C., using leading-edge manufacturing
systems to ensure the finished differential meets BMW expectations for fit
and performance.
Dana's quality assurance technology in Orangeburg employs 100 per cent
on-line coordinate measuring devices, which, in real-time, integrate the
final machined dimensions of the gears and housing, calculating their optimum
relative positions for final assembly. The process verifies that the
incoming components are within specification, and then determines the best
final assembly positions from the actual dimensions of these incoming
components.

manufacture of value-added products and systems for automotive, commercial,
and off-highway vehicle manufacturers and their related aftermarkets. The
