The 2017 BMW 2 Series Coupe and 2017 BMW 3 Series Sedan Earn IIHS “Top Safety Pick+”.

 

Munich. BMW is proud to announce the Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety named the 2017 BMW 2 Series Coupe and
2017 BMW 3 Series Sedan a “Top Safety Pick+”, continuing the company’s
long-standing commitment to offer class-leading safety with each new
model. In order to earn a 2017 Top Safety Pick +, a vehicle must earn
good ratings in the five IIHS crashworthiness tests — small overlap
front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints
— as well as an advanced or superior rating for front crash prevention
and new for 2017, an acceptable or good headlight rating.

Following BMW’s commitment to safety, the BMW 3 Series Sedan
underwent a series of small overlap enhancement measures for its 2017
model year. The IIHS evaluated this new 3 Series in December of 2016
receiving a “GOOD” rating in the tough small overlap crash test,
ensuring the 2017 BMW 3 Series Sedan a TSP+ grade.

Since its introduction in 2014, the BMW 2 Series has been recognized
by the IIHS every year for four consecutive appearances. The 2 Series
has been praised for its body structure integrity receiving a top
rating in all crashworthiness tests. Most recently the 2017 BMW 2
Series Coupe was awarded a “Top Safety Pick” in the 2017 IIHS TSP/TSP+
in early December 2016. BMW then implemented improvements to the 2017
BMW 2 Series Coupe headlights. The IIHS evaluated this vehicle at
their proving grounds in late December 2016 and was awarded a “GOOD”
rating. With this result the 2017 BMW 2 Series earns once again a “Top
Safety Pick +” rating.

The 2017 BMW 2 Series Coupe and 2017 BMW 3 Series Coupe provide a
high-level of standard safety features including BMW Assist eCall, BMW
TeleService, Dynamic Stability Control, Brake Dry Assist, Cornering
Brake Control and Dynamic Traction Control. Optional features such as
Lane Departure Warning, Frontal Collision Warning including Pedestrian
Warning and City Collision Mitigation are also available.
