Why is the turning radius of BMW small?
1 Answers
BMW's small turning radius indicates good maneuverability. The reasons for this judgment: The minimum turning radius largely characterizes a car's ability to pass through narrow curved areas or bypass insurmountable obstacles. The smaller the turning radius, the better the car's maneuverability. Factors affecting the turning radius: The decisive factors of a car's turning radius are related to the wheelbase, track width, and the maximum steering angle of the steering wheels. These should be properly selected during design based on the car type, purpose, road conditions, structural characteristics, and dimensions such as wheelbase. To ensure that the wheels roll purely without sliding during steering, the minimum turning radius is determined by the vehicle's wheelbase. A longer wheelbase results in a larger turning radius, but vehicles with longer wheelbases have better driving smoothness.
