So for pedestrians, X3 is worst, and i3 is #2 for whiplash, and the main difference is that they changed the safety assist scoring criterias.
The lack of speed limited (that I never use anyway) being standard, and seat belt warning in the back is the only thing preventing a 5 star rating. One of them would probably be enough.
For me, this is as safe as any other BMW as standard, and safer than most, with all options.

So maybe BMW need to raise their game on safety. I think it's appalling the i3 a car that is silent and will be used mainly in the city offers such poor protection to pedestrians. That's just poor design.
