That's pretty good, right? Total deformation of the engine compartment and frame forward of the firewall, but pretty well preserved passenger compartment.

I think I'm hoping that with a seat belt, I don't go that deep into my airbag - but it looks like the seatbelt might be buckled...hmmm

And the pesky gas cap cover!

Result was a dissapointing 4/5, which is below most other prestige cars and in fact most quality sedans. Only one star for pedestrian safety too. BMW needs to lift its game. Interestingly the Citroen C6 is the highest overall scorer in the NCAP tests.

On a previous test it was only 3/5. So, if you have an early E60 you only have 3/5.
