Linkums.
The 2008 BMW 5 Series was the worst performer in new side-impact crash tests of luxury sedans by the insurance industry.
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.
Wow, bimmer got schooled by a KIA. Ouch, that's

JK. We know this isn't true b/c lawn gnomes are running the country!
This is an undercover shot I took when I infiltrated one of their head leaders meetings:
And you know what, they have TONS of BMW stock. AND, I think that meeting was when they were discussing using their pull over at BMW to make the 5 series worse in crash safety. Coincidence? I don't think so...
