#8 of 9 no travel? by kurtamaxxxguy

I'm surprised the BMW might be so limited in travel.
 
Does anyone know what the __actual__ amount of suspension travel is in either the Audi or BMW, and do they use hydraulic bushings (like VW and some GM cars) to help damp harshness?

I do not know specifics. I assumed, in error, the BMW suspension in my 330xi was not as long as others. The suspension travel "feels" shorter over large bumps.
 
Shipo straightened me out!
 
I personally never shop a car according to suspension travel stats (if there are any listed anywhere). I learn something new every day!
