The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has just presented two more TOP SAFETY PICK+ awards, this time going to two members of the BMW lineup, the 2017 BMW 2 Series and 2017 BMW 3 Series. Both vehicles made changes to their headlights in order to meet the stricter guidelines set by the IIHS for their TOP SAFETY PICK and TOP SAFETY PICK+ ratings.
For a vehicle to qualify for the TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating, it has to earn a “good” rating in each of the IIHS crashworthiness tests including the small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints tests. It also must earn an “advanced” or “superior” rating for its front crash prevention system and an “acceptable” or “good” rating for its headlights.
The improved headlight features on these two models include the curve-adaptive LED headlights with high-beam assist which are available on the 3 Series as part of the optional lighting package, and curve-adaptive high-intensity discharge lights which are available on the 2 Series as part of a lighting package.
