You did not see body shop and paint shop because they will assemble the body in white and then they go to paint. Afterwards the painted body is temporary placed in the “stacker” until vehicle assembly is ready to pull the appropriately painted body for full assembly. A VIN is given at that time. BMW has been using this method for 25+ years at all their manufacturing facilities.
