INTRODUCTION TO CHASSIS DYNAMICS
Model: All
Production: All
One of the trademark characteristics of a BMW is its ability to handle like a sports car and still provide a pleasing driver experience. To keep ahead of the competition, BMW has continually raised the bar from a performance standpoint. BMW engines are usually "Best in Class" in the premium segment. However, to remain a leader it is not only the engine which must outperform the rest of the pack. The chassis must allow for optimal comfort and safety as well as superior handing and braking.
Scheme 1
This training module will help the technician understand the basics of vehicle dynamics. Terminology, as it applies to BMW chassis systems, will also be explained in this section. A thorough understanding of current chassis technology is needed to diagnose and perform service procedures of these vehicles.
The information learned in this training module will provide fundamental knowledge needed to understand such systems as Dynamic Stability Control, Active Steering and Active Roll Stabilization.
