- E24 All models including M6 and L6
- E28 All models including M5
- E32 All models
- E34 All models
The Track Link is a modified semi-trailing arm rear suspension. It incorporates an additional link that is mounted between the trailing arm and the rear axle carrier beam. The track link is mounted through rubber bushings that allow it to flex during bounce and rebound. The track link reduces the pivot axis from 20 degrees to 13 degrees which reduces the amount of camber and track change during bounce and rebound.
It provides better handling, reduces "squat" and "dive" tendencies and allows less camber change due to heavy loading.
There are no rear suspension adjustments, small corrections can be made with offset bushings.
