- Track Validation: Engineers test B12 kits on the Nürburgring Nordschleife and ATP test facilities, evaluating critical parameters:
- Driving Dynamics: Assessing stability across high-speed straights and undulating terrain.
- Cornering Precision: Analyzing body control and tire grip through complex curves.
- Extreme Braking: Measuring fade resistance and stopping distances under heavy loads.
- On-Road Simulation: Kits are subjected to diverse road surfaces—from cobblestones to highway highways—to replicate daily driving conditions, ensuring comfort without compromising sportiness.
Like original equipment manufacturer (OEM) suspension tuning, BILSTEIN’s process involves iterative testing by specialized engineers. The B12 series balances performance and practicality: monotube shock absorbers optimize heat dissipation, while progressive-rate springs reduce body roll without sacrificing ride quality. This approach has made the B12 a go-to choice for enthusiasts seeking OEM-like refinement with upgraded handling—a testament to BILSTEIN’s decades of motorsport and engineering expertise.
