135i CRASH TEST FOOTAGE!! (Video)

cozza · 04-07-2008, 01:33 AM

Did a search but couldn't find this anywhere in the forums. It's available via Facebook, and I've not been able to find the footage anywhere else...

Thank you for finding that.

Nice find! This must be NCAP or perhaps BMW AG in-house testing? Doesn't really look like IIHS.

I can see that, however I couldn't find any specific threads or posts pertaining to the crash test videos specifically, so I posted them. Also, these videos are not available on the UK or Australian BMW websites, so it's quite probable that many forum visitors have not seen them.

By the way, by repeating a statement that a previous member has made above, are you not also, in effect, reposting? :wink:

PS: I think my signature is going faster than yours

Isn't that what you just did? :wink:

Possibly. ...but you are either driving with your hazards on, or your left turn signal. Either one is extremely annoying when I see it on the road. :biggrin:

ChrisK · 04-07-2008, 08:10 AM

Move along friend

InsaneSkippy · 04-07-2008, 08:29 AM

Thank you for posting this! I hadn't seen these videos on here before. I'm on here every day and have never heard a word about the crash test videos until now.

Although, it is somewhat painful watching the car get hurt like that lol.

Could you please provide a link on this forum where it's been posted before?

InOttawa · 04-07-2008, 09:32 AM

I wonder if I can order that color.

happywalmartcustomer · 04-07-2008, 09:49 AM

Nice link, had not seen that yet. When I'm not purchasing a car new, I like to check out wreck photos to see how the car holds up in the real world. The 1 series isn't up on the website yet, but they have plenty of 3 series photos here. http://www.wreckedexotics.com/

The BMW mini site was discussed numerous times.

ChrisK · 04-07-2008, 11:29 AM

Don't kill the messenger. Try an advance search for "crash" in the title and you won't even get this thread

InsaneSkippy · 04-07-2008, 11:32 AM

Yes but I'm wondering where it's been posted on HERE. I don't mean to nit-pick here but unless a thread has been created about these videos, it's not a repost. Just because it's on the BMW site doesn't mean we can't have the videos here.

I'm willing to bet a lot of people who saw this thread were seeing the videos for the first time. So I see no reason to call this a "repost".

ScottyGams · 04-07-2008, 11:51 AM

:reposthorse::reposthorse::reposthorse:

haha, kidding...

what kind of 1er fan are you if you have not watched every one of those videos at least 5 times?

get on it people!

Ok, you are right InsaneSkippy. I am not going to argue about this.

At 0:11 seconds you can see the 135i go from coupe to hatch back version!
