BMW i3 Crash Test

The i3’s only available headlight system earns an acceptable rating.

I never realized how magical side curtain airbags are. Amazing.

For the ppl saying its bad that it continued after it hit the wall: its actually really good because the passengers experience much less force due to it not slowing down much. So they actually purposely engineered the car to do this and Volvo is known to do the same.

Every other car: *Hits wall and stops*. i3: *hits wall* ight ima head out

Don't let the dummies drive they always crash cars

1:09 I thought the whole door was going to come off but it was luckily just the door panel

[Surrenitie]

I love weird unique cars like these so naturally i want one and the safety is a good bonus as well

Bumper: 25% overlap.
Front wheel: 10% overlap.
driver's door: 1% overlap.

These appear to have great front knee room. It’s like they have a front split bench seat. They look cool too and are small.

The fact it did better than the Tesla Model S which is 2x its cost is commendable. The carbon fiber body really isn't only for show; it is quite sturdy little thing.

1:01 shows how bmw has high quality..car keep going and let you reach ur destination even after a huge impact even left behind quarter of the car :)

[Amanda-bgkb]

thank you for that video now I feel better about my new BMW

[laramilena]

love this channel I actually want to be a crash engineer when I'm older actually working with encap

[XPoChangLinX]

Why so much hate? It's actually pretty decent crash results. Dumb-ass people can't read.
Just look at 1:00 the dummy is like "Crash? Whatever! I only need three wheels to get home in time for the big game!"

At 1:09
Tire: HELLO DARKNESS MY OLD FREIND

I see BMW adopted a similar strategy to Volvo in 25% front collision, which is pretty nice. By slide-passing the obstacle, occupants experience much less g in the collision. That’s why the dummy even didn’t need to touch the airbag.
This really requires engineering effort.

It's satisfying how modern cars have all these safety equipment installed.

[Alif]

this my 1st time to see the wheel came off completely from the body (wheel, tie-rod, balljoint, brake, bearing) but still have good result. Because the wheel help to reduce impact especially small overlap crash. Nice.

dude a 2 year old preowned i3 costs as much as a new base model civic. not bad considering its a carbon fiber built rear engined bmw
