I have looked through reviews and websites.

and the 1 series seems safest but it is also the cheapest.

I am saving up and have been for a year.

It will be my very first brand new car.

  1. BMW made a skateboard (not kidding), and that's definitely the answer.

  2. BMW 3 series. It's the safest vehicle as rated by ANCAP, with 5 points.

    Dual front airbags, side airbags and head-protecting side curtains are standard equipment. ABS/EBD brakes and electronic stability control are also standard. Advanced seat belt reminders are fitted to both front seats.

    The front seat belt buckles are mounted on the seats and the upper anchorages are adjustable. These features improve the fit of the seat belt. Pre-tensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash. A three point seat belt is fitted to the centre rear seat. This provides better protection than a two point seat belt.

    The BMW 3-Series scored 15.56 out of 16 in the offset crash test. The passenger compartment held its shape well. There was a slight risk of serious chest injury for the driver and a slight risk of lower leg injury for the passenger.

    The vehicle scored 15.09 out of 16 in the side impact crash test. There was a slight risk of serious abdomen injury for the driver. A further 2 points were scored in the optional pole test.

    Body region scores out of 4 points each: Head/neck 4 pts, chest 3.95 pts, upper legs 4 pts, lower legs 3.613 pts.

    The passenger compartment held its shape well in the offset crash test. The brake pedal moved rearwards by 13 mm and downwards 2mm. The steering wheel hub moved rearwards 3 mm, upwards 7 mm and sideways 3 mm. The front ("A") pillar moved 3 mm rearwards. All doors remained closed during the crash. After the crash all doors could be opened with normal effort.

    Airbags cushioned the head of the driver and passenger and contact was stable.

    Body region scores out of 4 points each: Head 4 pts, chest 4 pts, abdomen 3.09 pts, pelvis 4 pts.

    The vehicle was eligible for an optional pole impact test, since it had head-protecting side airbags and scored four points for the head in the side impact test. The manufacturer decided to go ahead with the pole test and the vehicle earned a further two points.

    Bonus Points:

    Pole Test: 2 points     Seat Belt Reminders: Fitted to both front seats - 2 points


  3. 5 series, 545i a wonderful car.
