The new 3-Series achieved five stars for protecting its adult occupants. Its passenger cell remained stable and protected all of its occupants well; the car achieved almost a maximum score in the frontal impact. An intelligent seat belt reminder is fitted for the driver and passenger. Child protection was good but pedestrian protection was very poor.
