I took this awhile ago. it was at the bimmersport (.co.nz) get-to-gether at a bmw garage. They had a M6 on the hoist. Seeing underneath one of these cars is quite rare, and as the photo shows - spectacular. The Technology in modern cars, especially under the bonnet, is largely hidden. From below there is little opportunity for the manufacturer to hide, and here is a great example. Note the amount of bushes and mounts to hold and no doubt control the rear wheel. Some suspension guru would probably add a whole lot more to this comment - probably along the lines of - looks like any other car!! :-) This just gave me an idea - i will photo graph the underside of my Ford Falcon so you can compare - check back soon.
