Not a car I would want to drive.

Well, why do you drive an X3 then?
In the ratings for side impact and whiplash protection the X3 even scored a bit less than the i3:
The X3 has been rated 5 stars - in 2011. Today it would receive 4 stars, like the i3 - only because of the higher standards for pedestrian protection.
Those kind of ratings can be deceiving. If the i3 scored a bit better in pedestrian protection, it would have got 5 stars and I bet, there wouldn't be a discussion about its safety.
