X5 Crash test results

It's the news this morning. SUV Crash test results.

So i went looking for 2007 X5 crash test results and this is what I found. http://www.automotive.com/2007/12/bm...ety/index.html

Earlier years are avaliable.
http://www.automotive.com/used-cars/.../x5/index.html.

I just wondered what are the facual results from reliable testing agencies regarding how safe the various years have been?

The link works but as i mentioned this is what i found which is "no info" for the 2007 but information on previous years. That's why i asked the question
"I just wondered what are the facual results from reliable testing agencies regarding how safe the various years have been?" which would include 2007 if any exist. Sorry i wasn't clear.

I'm pretty sure the IIHS has tested the E70 X5.

NO one has tested the X3, though its on its 4th year now.

IIHS did test the E70, and the IIHS tests are the only ones worthwhile looking at.
(on a completely different note, gresch, you might want to trade in that Trailblazer. It was recently tested as the least-safe SUV. It basically failed the test )

I tend to think most BMW's do Relatively Poorly in side crash test ratings, The X seems like it would do well but the door-mounted side airbags are a horrible safety flaw in my opinion

Only the X3 has door mounted side airbags.
