Front airbags are newly configured to optimize their 2-stage, accident-severity-dependent deployment characteristics, inflated shape, and interaction with surrounding surfaces and components. The X5’s new body structure makes the previously available rear side-impact airbags unnecessary."
Reading carefully, I understand that there is no side airbags for the second row:
‘…makes the previously available (I’ve got rear side airbags) rear side-impact airbags unnecessary.’
I think second row passengers will have only the head protection system airbags.
