If not for Lexsus and Acuras of the world, BMW would be like a landrover. Big name and no substance. Lucikly japanese luxury brands started giving BMW and Mercs a run for money. Hopefully it will make BMWs of the world to regain quality or they stand to lose market share.

As mentioned by many before, the 3 series sedans (E90 or even the E46) had proved to be outstanding in crash test results. The E90 scored 90+% in the side impact (best in class) and 100% in frontal impact from EuroNCAP and "Good" ratings for both frontal and side impact on IIHS. No crash tests had yet to give a mediocre/average/poor overall rating for the E90. But if you are talking about the E93 side impact, that's another story.
