BMW SLAMMED FOR POOR CRASH TEST
New 5-series gets just four stars in Euro NCAP tests - at second attemp!
BMW's 5 series has suffered a big upset in Euro NCAP crash test results. The Five required numerous modifications and a re-test to record a four star result. While rivals such as Merc E-Class, new Audi A6 and SAAB 9-5 have all gained five stars, the 5 series needed improvements to the steering column, footrest, door trip, door latch, airbags and software. The Five also has to undertake both frontal-impact and pole tests twice in order to be classed as four star car.
The pedestrian impact test threw up even more serious concerns. NCAP assessors slammed the company's attitude, saying : 'BMW needs to take protection of pedestrians much more seriously' Source : Autocar
