Fair point but a very expensive car that has average safety as standard. More money for the options you mention to help avoiding pedestrians!!

Even a basic Dacia Sandero got 4 stars and they cost only 25% of an i3 !!

If you really want an i3 you will rationalise the poor score but standing back and looking at this objectively BMW has messed up here. 2bn Euro development on class leading technology and they didn't get the 5 stars every other new model they make gets
