Crash test review: BMW 3-Series

The BMW 3-Series is well known for harnessing modern technology in all aspects; safety, performance, handling, and style. Safety is a key feature that every BMW enthusiast appreciates the fact that their vehicles represent the flagship of vehicular performance. Built for the Autobahn, the BMW 3-Series in both convertible and hard top sedan display amazing results in the crash test.

Strong chassis, excellent crash zones, and advanced safety features practically wrap the occupants in a soft bubble during an accident. The car is designed to absorb the impact and disburse the energy around the cabin. Arches can be found through out the design which also strengthens impact resistance. Both the convertible and hard top crash tests can be seen below! I have driven a 3 series BMW over 100 mph and would do it again with out worry.
