TA Technix Pneumatic Suspension for BMW 3er Limousine

The pneumatic suspension, also known as air ride, has become one of the most demanded improvements by the tuning enthusiasts, especially for vehicles such as the BMW 3er Limousine. This system not only transforms the aesthetics of the vehicle, but also optimizes its performance and comfort on the road. In this article, we will delve into TA Technix air suspension kits, their components, installation, maintenance and the advantages they offer, ensuring that your BMW 3er Limousine stands out on each trip.

What is air ride?

Pneumatic suspension is a system that uses compressed air instead of metal springs to withstand the weight of the vehicle and absorb road irregularities. This provides a level of customization and adaptability that traditional suspension systems cannot offer. With a kit of air suspension TA Technixthe owners of a BMW 3er Limousine can adjust the height of the vehicle on the fly, resulting in greater control and comfort.

In addition, the pneumatic suspension allows to modify the hardness of the damping, which is crucial for those looking for a balance between comfort and performance under different driving conditions. For example, you can opt for a smoother configuration for long trips and a more rigid configuration for sport driving.

Components of a TA Technix pneumatic suspension kit

A TA Technix pneumatic suspension kit includes several essential components that work together to provide optimal performance:

• Adjustable shock absorbers: These are crucial for controlling the vehicle’s response to different road conditions. TA Technix shock absorbers are known for their ability to adjust, allowing users to choose from several hardness settings.
• Air bags: These replace the springs and are responsible for the height adjustment capacity of the vehicle. TA Technix airbags are designed to withstand extreme conditions and offer exceptional durability.
• Compressors: An efficient compressor is vital to the system, as it is responsible for inflating and deflating air bags according to the driver’s needs. TA Technix compressors are compact and quiet, which improves the overall user experience.
• Pneumatic management: This system allows the driver to control the height of the vehicle from the inside, facilitating quick and accurate adjustments. A well-designed pneumatic management system can include digital controls that show the pressure of each bag and allow real-time adjustments.

Installation of the pneumatic suspension system

The installation of a TA Technix pneumatic suspension system in a BMW 3er Limousine is a process that requires attention to detail and appropriate tools. Here is a detailed step by step:

• Vehicle preparation: Before you start, make sure that the vehicle is in a safe and elevated place, such as an elevator or ramps. Gather all the necessary tools, including cup keys, screwdrivers and an air compressor.
• Disassembly of existing suspension: Start by removing the original suspension components, including shock absorbers and springs. This may require the use of a cat to hold the vehicle while you work. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations to avoid damage.
• Installation of air bags: Place the air bags in place, making sure they are properly aligned and sealed. It is vital that the bags are not exposed to heat sources or elements that can damage them.
• Compressor installation and management: Mount the compressor in an accessible place in the trunk or under the vehicle, and connect the pneumatic management system into the cabin. Make sure that all air connections are firmly adjusted.
• Tests and adjustments: Once everything is installed, perform tests to ensure that the system works properly. Adjust the vehicle height and check that there is no air leak. It is advisable to perform a driving test to verify the performance of the system.

Remember that if you don't feel safe doing the installation yourself, it's best to go to a professional with experience in air suspensions.

Compatibility, height and hardness

The TA Technix air suspension kit is specifically designed for the BMW 3er Limousine, ensuring perfect compatibility. The height adjustment capability is one of the greatest attractions of this system, allowing owners to lift the vehicle for more comfortable driving or lower it for a more sporty look. This adjustment range can usually vary between 5 to 10 centimeters, depending on the model and configuration.

In addition, the hardness of the suspension can be adjusted according to the preferences of the driver. This means that, if you plan to participate in tuning events or competitions, you can opt for a more rigid configuration, while for daily use, a smoother configuration can be ideal. The ability to adjust the hardness also helps to prolong the life of the system, as it allows to adapt to the conditions of the road.

It is important to note that suspension approval may be required in some countries. Check local regulations to ensure that your installation complies with current regulations.

Maintenance of pneumatic suspension system

The maintenance of the TA Technix pneumatic suspension system is relatively simple and essential to prolong the life of the system. Here are some practical tips:

• Periodic revisions: Conduct regular system inspections to detect possible leaks or damage to the airbags. If you notice that the vehicle does not maintain the desired height, it could be a sign of leakage.
• Compressor maintenance: Make sure the compressor is clean and free of obstructions. Changing the compressor air filter is recommended every certain time to ensure efficient operation.
• Connection check: Check that all air connections are well sealed and do not leak. You can apply a soapy solution to connections to detect bubbles that indicate leaks.
• System calibration: After a time of use, it is advisable to recalibrate the system to ensure that height and hardness adjustments remain accurate.

Following these steps, you can enjoy an improved driving experience with your BMW 3er Limousine, highlighting both aesthetics and performance.
