2 series excels in IIHS crash

Nice to see the car do well. Crash test have been on my mind recently as I have seen three bad accidents in recent weeks, last night saw a car get flipped on it's side.

Great point. Besides being so much fun to drive, the 2 series is exceptional in both reliability and safety.

Free friendly advice: Do not exceed 5 mph and you should be good.

I know to die hard motor heads it might seem irrelevant, but one of the many reasons I bought this car is because I knew it was very safe. I had a crazy incident where someone tried to push me off the road at 80 mph on purpose. I swear I had done nothing to pompt this beheavior, it was just some crazy idiot that had lost the plot. I haven't made it this far to be wiped out on the freeway.
