active headrests
We are looking at adding another car to the family within the next few months and have pretty well settled on a '12 or '13 128i. Before I start to line things up, I wanted to verify with all of you that active head restraints come standard with any 1er that we look at. My wife has had a prior neck injury and a car that doesn't have some sort of active 'whiplash' protection won't be a good candidate for us. She's currently driving an E60 that does have this safety feature. I'm pretty certain that all E90s were phased in with this starting around 2009.
Thanks. |

I see nothing in any of the parts diagrams that would indicate the head restraints are active in any way. That is, no mechanical leverage device between the back and the restraint...

Short of having long pins on the headrest, I can't see a mechanical relationship between the seat frame and the headrest that would push it forward on a rear end impact... |

And, I can tell you with certainty that my 2012 E82 does NOT have that lead, as I've had my headrests out... The repair kit 52109176091 cross reference does NOT show the E82. |
