When drivers think of BMW cars, there are a few things that usually come to mind: speed, excitement, luxury, fun, and more. Something that doesn't always jump to the top of our minds is safety, but as it turns out, you can get that right along with your luxury and excitement. In fact, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) recently honored two BMW models with their highest safety rating, declaring them each a "Top Safety Pick+".
The 2017 BMW 2 Series Coupe and 2017 BMW 3 Series Sedan didn't receive that distinction easily. To earn the title of Top Safety Pick+, a vehicle must undergo a series of five crashworthiness tests that assess everything from different types of crashes to the roof strength of the vehicle, and pass with the highest possible rating. Not only that, but the model must also earn an advanced or superior rating for its front crash prevention system, and starting in 2017, undergo an evaluation of its headlights as well. But of course, when BMW engineers put their mind to something, they usually succeed. And with the 2017 BMW 2 Series Coupe and 2017 BMW 3 Series Sedan, they put their minds to safety and achieved the highest possible safety designation from IIHS.
It's not just the crashworthiness and front crash prevention that make these models safe for drivers though. Both vehicles include a wide range of standard safety features like BMW Assist eCall, Dynamic Stability control, and Cornering Brake Control. And for drivers who really want it all, available safety features include Lane Departure Warning, City Collision Mitigation, and more.
