Thatcham - BMW 1-Series - Front impact - Poor rating

BMW 1-Series : Front repair cost* £3,225.33 - POOR.

Thatcham, on behalf of the British insurers, has helped develop an insurance crash test that will encourage manufacturers to fit deeper, wider and more energy absorbing bumper beams to their vehicles in the future, both to the front and rear. This will lead to better control of repair costs, saving money for motorists.

The bumper ratings are generated from the repair cost (excluding VAT) associated with a 6 m.p.h. collision. These costs are then translated into ratings, Good, Acceptable, Marginal, or Poor. These ratings are available at www.thatcham.org/bumpers

* Repair cost given above includes VAT at 17.5%

Every car is either poor and marginal....what kind of ratings are these?

[BrainShotUBD]

Thatcham is the biggest crap i've ever seen...

crashing expensive cars for no reason... saying that the repair costs WOULD be £3,225.33... giving every car a poor or marginal rating...

better spend this money on starving kids in grinding poor countries in africa...

[SebNormandy]

Poor... because it cost a lot of money to repair this car for a minor front crash. Not difficult to understand...

[outlander131]

So Thatcham sees all cars to be either marginal or poor quality, the question is: What is the car that represents good or acceptable quality for you Thatcham ? a Tank ?

@MrMockeryMcFly they are still hoping that someone will repair your car for free if you hit it at 5 mph
