Start watching the video at the 8 minute mark to get an idea of the headcounts involved. Now multiply that times the number of components that need to be installed to make a complete vehicle.

Keep in mind, that video is showing the construction of the body-in-white (pre-paint); the assembly lines that occur post-paint are much more populated.

Also, the 7 series isn't made at BMW's South Carolina plant; I suspect that video is from their Dingolfing facility.
