Suspension
The suspension design of the E90 is similar to the suspension of the E87.
-
Front axle
The front axle is made of aluminium and is therefore very light. Nonetheless, the front axle is very rigid. The
steering is a front-mounted rack-and-pinion power-steering system.
The front axle is a double-link, spring-strut front axle.
The wheel is guided as follows:
•
by the spring strut
•
by 2 links: by a tension strut and a pressure strut
-
Rear axle
The rear axle is a five-arm rear axle. This ensures especially good wheel guidance.
