The side airbags aren't the best - they're first generation. It will be different story is a big truck or SUV hits you at the side. There will be severe head injuries.
I am ready to do this test myself, I am really ready for me to safety I hope I am a volunteer safety testing company to take care of this speech and I am in full mental
@batbat0 - Light....Are you kidding? There actually quite heavy for the size and what not but because of the weight and design i guess, the car isn't prone to aquaplaning through puddles. Also the car is very good on fuel (for the size and weight of car and engine). In short its just a really good car. BMW Icon
The pole always intrudes pretty far into the passenger compartment on every car, but the airbag does its job and protects the driver's head in this instance. I have an '03 one of these. I would be reluctant to trade it for most any other car.

the pole test showed this car's weekness..... the intrusion into the passenger compartment (safety cell) was quite extensive...
