What’s the safest BMW?
I’m thinking about replacing my old 2006 BMW 3 Series with a new vehicle. I love BMW cars so I want to stick with the brand, but we have a new baby on the way so safety is a major concern. What’s the safest BMW?

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) the BMW 2 Series, 3 Series, and
X5
all performed well on crash tests. When it comes to keeping your family safe, we suggest opting for the larger X5 over the smaller sedans. Not only does an SUV offer improved protection in a collision, it also provides better visibility, making it easier to see and react to hazards on the road. Here’s what the X5 has to offer in terms of safety features:
- Front, side, and overhead airbags
- Anti-lock brakes
- Automatic braking assistance
- Electronic stability control
- Child safety locks
- Turn signal mirrors
- Traction control
- Blind spot monitoring
- Auto-adjusting headlights
- Lane departure warning with lane keeping assistance
- Cross-traffic alerts
