DETROIT - The 2008 BMW 5 Series was the worst performer in new side-impact crash tests of luxury sedans by the insurance industry.

"Growing sales of SUVs and pickups have exacerbated height mismatches among passenger vehicles, thereby increasing the risks to occupants of many vehicles struck in the side," Insurance Institute President Adrian Lund said in a news release.
The Kia Amanti was one of the lowest priced sedans in the group, with a starting price of around $25,500, but it offered greater protection than more expensive entries. The BMW 5 Series starts at $43,500, while the Mercedes E-Class starts at $50,550, according to automotive research site Edmunds.com.

It never really occured to me that driving lowered cars would put me in a positition of higher-risk due to side impact. Interesting.

I don't think that sentence is structured very well. sorry.

bangle made it so ugly even safety runs away from it apparently. Can't imagine being creamed in my mk1.... I need a roll cage.

my old roommate can build you one once he buys a pipe bender. He has fabbed up and installed quite a few custom roll cages of his own design.
