Chassis for BMW M1 Gr.5

The original Sideways chassis for your BMW M1 Gr.5, ready to hit the track again

When an accident or wear compromises the base of your model, having the exact replacement makes the difference between a quick repair and losing track sessions. This standard chassis from Sideways (ref. SWSC/A) is the original part specifically designed for the BMW M1 Gr.5, ensuring that all dimensions, anchor points, and tolerances are factory correct.

Function and performance

The chassis is the structural element on which the entire mechanical assembly of the car rests: motor, axles, guide, and body. Using an original Sideways chassis guarantees that the suspension geometry and weight distribution remain within the parameters for which the BMW M1 Gr.5 was conceived, preserving its characteristic behaviour on track.

Assembly and preparation

Replacing the chassis is an operation that requires disassembling the entire mechanical assembly: removing the motor, axles, and guide, and transferring them to the new chassis while respecting the original fittings and adjustments. We recommend taking the opportunity to check the condition of the braids, guide, and bearings, and replacing any parts that show wear.
