E85 Rear Suspension

The E85 rear suspension is taken from the E46 design with some minor changes for the roadster. The track width has been increased by 30 mm. A reinforcement plate has been added to increase rigidity. Due to underbody aerodynamics, a duct has been added to direct airflow to the differential. The differential cover has cooling fins which will help keep the differential within it's operating temperature range.
