BMW Safety
BMW vehicles and motorcycles are some of the most recognizable and popular motor vehicles in the world today. They are made popular by their sleek design, their smooth riding capabilities, the many features they offer and for how safe the vehicles are on the road. The BMW company has manufactured plenty of safe vehicles and their main goal is to make sure that the drivers of their vehicles are able to walk away from a BMW involved in an accident before they step into one.
The BMW company won the Top Safety Pick awards as determined by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The vehicles that won the awards were the 3 Series Sedan, X5, and the X3. BMW has won numerous awards for safety from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and in 2000 the 2001 BMW X5 was awarded as the safest SUV on the roads and it was also the safest vehicle ever tested by the Institute up to that point in time.
President of BMW North America, LLC., Jim O’Donnell, had this to say about winning the previous safety awards:
“BMW continues to be committed to both our active and passive safety technologies, and we are pleased to receive the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s Top Safety Pick award for the 2009 BMW 3 Series Sedan, X5, and X3.”
The IIHS rates vehicles during their safety tests as “good,” “acceptable,” “marginal” and “poor” in a variety of tests that include frontal offset, side impact crash, rear crash protection/head restraints. For a vehicle to be named a Top Safety Pick it must earn a “good” rating in all three of the tests named above.
