Of a premium German do you expect that this is also a little solid is screwed. We recommend you not to with a 5 Series small overlap crash.

Regarding the previous: we recommend that anyway (almost) no one on his car to crash, but unfortunately you do not always have control over. The small overlap test is one that is not yet to Europe is penetrated, but in the US is there for quite some time. The results prove that this is definitely not the easiest test is for a car, but at this level, you want to make your car as safe as possible.

3 zakensedans

In the last round were 3 large sedans tested: the Infiniti Q70, BMW 535i, and Lincoln MKS. This was also the order of their crashveiligheid, from good to bad. In an earlier stage were already 4 other large sedans tested, we put all results in a row, concludes researcher IIHS: The MKS and 5 series are the worst performers out of seven large luxury cars tested so far for small overlap protection.

Not exactly a result that you, as a BMW at home. Fortunately, there is still the appalling bad Lincoln as a lightning rod (wtf @ Ford? Do this even better?), but to say that you ‘at least not the worst’ is BMW-unworthy seems to us to be so.
