How is the suspension of the M635CSi and M6 different from that of the standard 6 Series?
Both
the M635CSi and M6 utilize a MacPherson strut/semi-trailing arm
suspension design that is common to all E24 6 Series. However, it has
been tuned by BMW Motorsport and features a number of unique components.
The suspension of the M635CSi is more dramatically altered than that of
the North American M6 and includes the following changes:
-Specific front and rear springs (also fitted to E28 M5s produced before
10/86) that are stiffer (by 15 percent) and result in a reduced
ride-height (by 0.4 inches)
-Increased steering caster
-Specially-tuned Bilstein shocks (also fitted to E28 M5s produced before 10/86)
-25mm front anti-roll bar (up from 19mm)
-16mm rear anti-roll bar
The North American-spec M6 shares its springs with the standard North
American-spec E24 635CSi (as well as the European-spec E28 M535i) and
therefore does not benefit from a reduction in ride-height. However, it
does include unique shocks and a larger (compared to the standard North
American 635CSi) 21mm front anti-roll bar that is shared with the early
European-spec E28 M5 and North American-spec E28 535i/535is. The rear
suspension is largely identical to that the North American-spec E28 M5,
complete with automatic load-leveling rear shocks. Unlike the E28 M5,
however, it retinas the smaller 16mm anti-roll bar from the M635CSi. |
