Supreme driving comfort while maintaining maximum handling, agility and accuracy. These requirements may seem to be almost mutually exclusive. And yet the chassis of the BMW 3 Series Touring resolves the contradiction with ease.

A substantial contribution to this comes from the sophisticated chassis technology with double-joint tension-strut front axle and five-arm rear axle, which provide perfect support for the successful concept with longitudinally mounted engine, rear-wheel drive, balanced axle load distribution and body with high torsional strength.

BMW particularly relies on lightweight chassis components, sophisticated and perfectly tuned axle kinematics together with a precise steering system, which – thanks to the rear-wheel drive – remains unaffected by drive factors. State-of-the-art control systems support the dynamic driving potential of the BMW 3 Series Touring.

With a wheelbase of 2,810 millimetres, a track width of 1,543 millimetres at the front and 1,583 millimetres at the rear, the BMW 3 Series Touring has grown in terms of its dimensions. Combining the weight-optimised drive train and the lightweight construction concept of the body results in a perfect 50:50 axle load distribution. This ensures maximum driving dynamics and stability.

As if that were not enough: the dynamic chassis characteristics of the BMW 3 Series Touring can be increased even further with the optionally available Adaptive M suspension and by selecting Sports mode, which can be selected via the Driving Experience Control supplied as standard.
