Hi all,

First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Roel Scheffers, engineering-student from Holland.
The reason I joined this forum is I am working on a school/internship-project on the rear-suspension of a BMW E60.
I am supposed to make an animated suspension in a 3D-CAD program (solidworks).
I was hoping some of you guys could push me in the right directions to find some info/photo's/measurements of the suspesion.
All of your suggestions are welcome! In the meanwhile I'm gonna hang around here and gather some first info..


Greets,
Scheffers

Roel!

at times i feel this site offers more info than a manual (at least a lot more pics!) try directing your question(s) in the "Parts, Accessories, and Mods" or in the general discussion section and you'll definitely not be short of any answer. thanks for joining and good luck!
