If it was a major problem, the car would have never scored 5 stars for crash protection.

But as many (including me) have said, BMW kinda dropped the ball on this one because the car could have very easily achieved a 5 of 5 overall score if they simply had the rear seat belt and speed limit notification icon included. Seemingly minor things if you ask me and neither of which would decrease the safety of the car for my use as all.
So if it really is that simple why don't BMW come out and say we are fixing these two items from production date xxxx. If they don't then we can only assume it is rather more complex than this?
