Amen, glad the BMW took the beating and saved their lives. So many people these days buy cars for vanity but forget to buy them for safety.

I'll add my well-wishes for your parents' and thankful to hear of BMW's excellent structure. It's a factor into my buying my fist X3 (2014 F25).
It's frustrating to hear of people running stop signs / lights. It happens far too often. It's gotten to the point that I pause and look both ways to spot any potential "runner" before I proceed. |

Very glad your parents are ok. It's also clear that I made the right choice in replacing our totaled F30 w/ the G01.

On the crash test at 1:54 - what triggers the hood to pop open? I understand the system is to cushion pedestrian head impacts, but how does the hood know when to pop open?
Is it via the front facing cameras? Strange the car 'failed' the 40kmph pedestrian test in the open at 2:16, but passed it (by quite a clear margin) at 2:20 also at 40kmph when the pedestrian emerged from parked cars. Also - the windows didn't open in the tests. |

When I was in my Audi, I saw someone coming in hot behind me and have to slam on the brakes. When the car sensed it, the bells start going off, and the one thing I was most surprised by were the windows immediately starting to roll down. I couldn't help but wonder if, in that situation, it was to prevent the amount of glass that could break? Even if it's not super sharp, you certainly don't want it in your eyes... Glad your parents are OK. And your description really does help put all of the minor things in perspective, so thanks for that. |
