Euro NCAP | BMW X1 | 2009 | Crash test

In the side impact, a mobile deformable barrier impacts the driver's door at 50 km/h. In the pole test, the car tested is propelled sideways at 29km/h into a rigid pole.

I think that's done on purpose since that part of the dashboard is somewhat far away from the passenger if it went of the same time as the steering wheel airbag its likely it would have started to deflate by the time the passenger's head went into it.

If the car is hit in a 'Controlled Zone', e.g - The crash is mainly on the drivers side, the drivers airbag will always deploy first - Hope this helps :)

indeed, but just a fraction of a second later. Nevertheless, it seems a very safe car :)
