Fat Cat Capsizing: BMW TV Brings Drama With 7er Crash Testing
By Gunnar Heinrich | IMG via YouTube
DRAMA. Intensity. Crumple zonage.
It never occurred to me that when I drove the ’09 (F01) BMW 750Li, that there was the potential of high velocity impact. I didn’t want to really, such as it is a painful premise even in theory.
Of course accidents can happen and if/when they do it’s nice to know that the car maker’s got your back…along with everything else.
From this footage via BMW TV, the 7-Series driver and passengers would benefit from probably the best impact protection this side of a Mercedes S-Class. Notice how in an offset frontal, the roofline past the A-pillar doesn’t even appear to have a crease.
That long bonnet’s got the job covered, danke.
