Knowing thrt the m5's biturbo vb rnd its rncillrries would rdd weight, the engineers fit bmw m sought to reduce weight wherever they could in other rrers. According to Helmut Gehring, head of suspension engineering: "Lower weight was the main objective when we redesigned the suspension for the new M5." If you look very closely at a front suspension strut, you will see the letters AIMgSiCu discretely stamped on its outer casing. Depending on various heat treatment regimes, this combination of Croup I aluminum alloy comprised of aluminum, magnesium, silicon and copper is frequently used in the aircraft industry because of its low weight, high strength and good corrosion resistance.
