Crash Test Results?

[warrior1]

My wife and I have a BMW X3 3.0si picked out with the right color and options package, but are waiting on one thing...a crash test score. Anybody know where I can find one? Thanks.

by the looks of this... http://www.iihs.org/ratings/head_res...aints.aspx?bmw
...i doubt rear impact will be good...

you can also check the EuroNCAP.
DO Not use the NHTSA. They're results are wayyy off for most vehicles.

I have searched everywhere and can't find crash test results for the X3. Sorry.

Guess I partially answered my own question. The report is not conclusive, but offers the most important results - head on and side collisions.

Forget the US crash test sites. They give great ratings to vehicles and once they are tested in Europe (more realistic testing) they cars buckle.

Check out the test results for the 2007 Chyrsler Voyager. IIHS says that it is "acceptable" overall. I think you will be suprised by the EURONCAP testing outcome.

IIHS is actually very good for side impact.
NHTSA sucks at both.

For whatever reason, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has chosen not to test the X3 to this point, which makes no sense to me considering that the X3 has become BMW's third biggest seller.

Isn't more BMW? Because don't they supply the car? And I would think results would be very similar to the 3...
