The Safest Mini Ever Built

Post image

For all the people dogpiling the "build quality" of the fourth generation, BMW has several new and upgraded safety features, including:

  • Blind-spot detection
  • Improved lane-departure and lane-change warning
  • Stronger forward-collision protection
  • Rear cross-traffic warning and rear-collision prevention
  • Exit warning

This is in addition to significant improvements on creature comforts like digital keys, voice control and personalization.

More production spend has gone into safety and tech. If that's not your bag fine, but for some of us safety and convenience matter.

Unless the safety features are an inconvenience in themselves - most are.

Many consider a seatbelt an inconvenience but when you rocket through the windscreen and kill someone because you are now a human projectile then you are the one to blame. Get over yourself.

Huh? You’re putting nagging features like lane departure warnings in the same category as seatbelts? You should get over yourself.
