Summary of E60 training plan
Dear trainer colleague,
The existing training plan is very comprehensive, reflecting the many new developments in the E60 made by the BMW Group.
These new developments can of course be presented much more efficiently if they are taught as part of a detailed technical training programme with the active involvement and participation of your seminar participants.
Y our first introductory training is primarily designed to provide the necessary service know-how in as short a period of time as possible. Sometimes you may have less time available than is required to implement this plan.
We have therefore divided the topics to be taught into two categories reflecting the level of importance.
These categories feature:
A)A list of the completely new components with the scope of their functions, the number of the appro-
priate training section (Sec.) from the detailed Trainer's Guide and the relevant learning objectives. B)The components/functions which had already been replaced in the predecessor models, but which
have been modified/improved. These are only briefly described in the presentation of the entire system structure. These are also listed showing the Sec. number and the learning objectives.
On the basis of these specifications, you can devise your own training plan in accordance with market requirements.
In future E60 seminars which you will of course also be running after the introductory phase, you should then implement detailed training plans for the individual modules to achieve effective training.
We wish you
every success

Seminar opening
Note:
The seminar structure is based on a one-day training course. The structure has been drawn up in connection with that for the E60 drive/chassis and suspension.This is a proposal of BMW Aftersales T raining.
If the seminar is to be expanded to include other subjects, the seminar
programme must be amended while taking into account the specified learning objectives.
Opportunities to do this arise through an increase in the use of the SIP CD to convey theoretical learning content and by consolidating information when topics overlap.
The times stated for the individual training sections are merely rough estimates for guidance.
In order to promote a good learning climate, it is important to adhere to a
positive learning environment. Always allow for breaks of adequate length every 90 minutes or so.
Learning objectives:The participants
-are familiar with the timetable for the day and the objectives and contents of the seminar.

Special Features in Wheel Alignment Check
Group exercise
The trainer divides the participants into two groups and gets them to elaborate the general terms of chassis and suspension geometry with the worksheets and the posters.
Learning objectives:The participants
-are familiar with the specified tasks for preconditioning the car.
-are familiar with the most common fault sources during alignment and their effects.
-are aware of the difference between load-free alignment and alignment in the
design position.

Presentation: 0400_chassi_drive_dynamics PP.24-31
The participants of both groups take turns to present their work results and the
trainer uses PowerPoint to make additional explanatory comments on the
relevant illustrations.
The trainer then hands out the solution sheets to the participants.
Instructive talk
Preconditioning the car and the analyzer station during the wheel
alignment check:
The trainer asks questions to encourage the participants to think independently
and discusses the reality of operation with the participants.
Flipchart notes
Preconditioning tasks
-T yres: tread pattern, pressure, parity, rolling properties
-Wheels: released, matching, approved
-Fuel tank: full
-Spoiler
-Adapt analyzer station to vehicle wheelbase
-Check ease of movement of plates
-Is the analyzer station levelled? (every year!)
-T ester software status
-Current scheduled data
How must the levelling be carried out and to what degree of accuracy?
- With optical alignment tool
- BMW specified tolerances:longitudinal 1.00 mm,
diagonal 0.5 mm
Exercise at the vehicle
The trainer goes through the tasks mentioned with the participants.

Flipchart notes
Fault sources during alignment
- Inadequate levelling
- Quick-action clamp: seat, pins, rust
- Supporting surface: rust, dirt
- Brass bushing displaced in the quick-action clamp
- Plate lock removed too early
- Sports suspension overlooked
- KDS data status not current
