Body Reinforcements - BMW 3-series convertible Complete Vehicle Workbook

Body Reinforcements

As with previous convertibles, additional reinforcement is added to
supplement the rigidity of the body structure.
The additional struts consist of:
• Front end struts
• Shock tower to bulkhead struts
• Front axle subframe struts
• Tension struts at rear
• Strut in rollover protection system
The cross-section of the sill has been additionally increased as
compared to the E92.
