Why No U.S. Crash Test Data On The 1 Series ?

No iihs... nothing.

Any ideas ?

Just Curious.

Some niche cars like the 1 series coupe don't get tested, too expensive

EU tests came out quite good.

Last year a guy went head first into a telephone pole at 40MPH and came out without a scratch.

This car is plenty safe.

I got to see one go head first into a phone pole, the amount of airbag coverage these cars have is pretty amazing, this guy had every single one deploy

They tried to crash one but kept having to call it off because of fuel pump failures.
