Scheme 18

32 00... General information and definitions

Toe angle difference

1. a Toe angle difference
2. D Center point of operating circle

The toe angle difference is the angle adjustment of the inner cornering wheel relative to the outer cornering wheel when negotiating a curve. Steering is designed in such a way that angular position of wheels changes as steering lock progresses.

A correctly adjusted toe angle difference produces equal values for left and right lock with consideration of factory tolerances.

Toe angle difference provides information on corresponding operation of steering trapezoid for left or right steering lock from center position.

Camber

Inclination of the wheel from the perpendicular.

Scheme 19

Scheme 20

Toe

Reduction in distance of front of front wheels to rear of front wheels. The toe-in prevents the wheels from moving apart during driving and thus

1. the wheels from vibrating and grinding
2. excessive tire wear
3. excessive strain on the steering linkage and its links/joints
4. heavy vehicle steering

Measurement is performed in "straight-ahead mode".

Caster

Is the inclination of the kingpin in the direction of travel viewed from the side. The line through the center point of the spring strut support bearing and the control arm ball joint corresponds to the "kingpin".

Thanks to caster, wheels are pulled and not pushed. In a similar manner to king pin inclination, when driving in curves or around corners, returning forces are reproduced to help return wheels to straight-ahead position.

Scheme 21

Scheme 22

Geometrical axis 1

Is the angle bisector from the total rear-wheel toe.

Front-wheel measurements are taken in reference to this axis.

Symmetrical axis 2

Center line running through front and rear axles.

Scheme 23

Wheel offset

Angle by which one front wheel is displaced more towards front or rear than the other front wheel. The wheel offset angle is positive when the right wheel is displaced towards the front and negative when it is displaced towards the rear.

Scheme 24

Kingpin offset/scrub radius

Is the distance from the center of the wheel contact face to the intersection point of the kingpin extension. The line through the center point of the spring strut support bearing and the control arm ball joint corresponds to the "kingpin".

The scrub radius is influenced by camber, kingpin angle and wheel offset of the wheel rim.

Scheme 25

32 00... Identifying suspension from label on front axle

Note. The type of suspension can be identified from the label on the spring strut/shock absorber.

Label

Scheme 26

1. BMW part number
2. Type of suspension = Standard suspension (basic) BA = Sport suspension or rough road package SP =E60, E61 AWD 60BAX = M Sport suspension MSP = China Long CHL = rough road package Option SA 815

In the case of "SP" identification, there is a further distinction between

1. Sport suspension without spacer ring (A)
2. Rough road package with spacer ring (A) above the support bearing

Scheme 27

32 00... Identification of suspension without label

Note. If the front spring strut does not have a label for suspension identification, the type of suspension can be identified from the part number in the Electronic Parts Catalogue.

32 00... Information on replacing steering gear after accident damage

Situation

In the event of accidents or driving conditions similar to accidents, shock-like loads can cause different types of damage to steering gears. When a steering gear is externally undamaged, it is sometimes only possible to identify damage with great difficulty and with great effort. However, damage of this nature poses an unacceptable risk to the vehicle because it can result in failure of the steering system.

Because of the disproportionate amount of effort involved, it is generally not sensible to check thoroughly all the individual components of the steering gear and as an alternative it is necessary to take into account other components which can be checked more easily.

Procedure

The steering gear must be replaced if one or more of the following points apply

1. Visible or noticeable damage to the steering gear
2. Unacceptable torque increase and jamming when the steering gear is turned from lock to lock (without hydraulic assistance)
3. Permissible tolerances exceeded during axle/wheel alignment check (if necessary, include alignment record with invoice / report)
4. Fire damage
5. Damage, permanent deformation or fractures to: Wheel rims in the event of a negative result from the wheel/axle alignment check Spring struts, steering knuckles, wheel carriers Control arms Compression or tension struts or stabilizer bars with this function Body-side screwing/bolting points for wheel guide/control components Front axle carrier Pitman arms Tie rods Steering gear fixtures Steering column

This guideline is binding for all accident repairs to BMW and MINI vehicles.

Note. If the steering gear replacement work which is required for safety reasons is refused by the customer or an insurance company for cost reasons, a memorandum to that effect must be drawn up and countersigned by the party bearing the costs of the accident repair.

65 77... Notes on scrapping BMW vehicles with gas generators (vehicles with gateway module, airbag system, up to build date 09/2005)

The gas generator is a pyrotechnic component of

1. Airbag module Driver's/passenger airbag Side airbags Head airbag Knee airbag
2. Belt tensioner
3. Belt buckle tensioner
4. Safety battery terminal

5 Series: E60, E61

6 Series: E63, E64

Gas generators that have not fired constitute a hazard (also to the environment)!

In accordance with accident prevention regulations and specific national regulations, gas generators must be rendered unusable before they are scrapped. This is necessary because pyrotechnical objects can cause injury if improperly activated (e.g. scrapping with flame cutters).

With above-mentioned vehicles which are scheduled for scrapping, it is always essential prior to draining and further stripping work to ensure that all the gas generators in the vehicle are fired. The fired gas generators can then be scrapped together with the vehicle.

Firing failure

If correct firing is not possible, the relevant components must (while observing the safety regulations for handling airbag system components) be removed and disposed of by special disposal companies!

If a firing operation has failed

1. Disconnect the firing device from the battery and
2. only approach the vehicle after a few minutes have elapsed

Firing

Firing of the gas generators may only be carried out by expert personnel and under the supervision of a responsible person. Other standard accident prevention regulations (safety goggles, ear defenders etc.) must also be observed.

The gas generators must be fired from the outside in the vehicle scheduled for scrapping with the doors closed but with the tailgate, door windows and sunroof open. To fire the gas generators, use the BMW-developed firing device with the corresponding cables.

Warning!

Once gas generators have been fired, observe a ventilation period of 10 minutes with the doors opened. Only then is it permitted to continue work inside the vehicle.

Wear protective goggles and protective gloves when handling a fired gas generator!

The burning of solid fuel will heat up airbag unit - danger of burning hands!

Wash skin with water after contact with fired gas generators!
