INDEPENDENT WHEEL SUSPENSION DESCRIPTION CHART

Description Advantages Disadvantages
State-of-the-art individual wheel suspension is available on BMW vehicles on the front and rear axles. This development has its cause in mass inertia, as a reduction in the non-suspended mass improves wheel and ground contact, and the wheel stays better on the road. Control arms and trailing arms, which have to absorb high longitudinal and lateral forces to some extent, are required for guiding independently suspended wheels. Wheels suspended independently from each other have no mutual influence on each other. Depending on the type, changes may occur in the camber, wheel toe, track width, castor and wheelbase.
