Crash test results or accident statistics for BMW E34 series?

[Larry]

Can anybody point me sites/publications that might have crash test
results for the E34 540i series BMW? I am willing to pay if need be.
I have an issue with importing a RHD BMW (1994 540i) into a country
and to satisfy local regulations I need to show the vehicle has
reasonably crashworthiness, equivalent say to the LHD version of the
vehicle and/or I can show accident statistics of the vehicle which
show above average performance during an accident

Many thanks

Larry

Good pointer, trouble is I need statistics/date for the E34 which is a 1994 540i

Any pointers to earlier data?

Thanks

Maybe you should contact the german automobile club ADAC (www.adac.de) and
the german car magazine auto motor sport (Fax No. +49 7 11 1 82-19 58),
They have started to perform crash tests 20 years ago and should be able to
provide some data. Maybe they can also provide you some information on cars
you can compare with (MB e-class)

I did - they were not interested in helping since I guess, parallel
imports of cars eats into their bottom lines. I also tried BMW Germany
- while they have responded to e-mails, and even asked for the VIN of
the car, in the end they didn't provide anything useful either. Makes
me wonder if they just don't want to help and to protect their local
dealers

If it is sold in the US, it HAD be tested by the feds. Try the
NHTSA site. That is the only TRUE test of a vehicles crash
worthiness. A free printed copy is available, from the Government
printing office in Pueblo Colorado

They need to VIN to verify model, year, and build date, to
determine what standards where required at the time it was built
to give you a specific answer.

uhh..Pueblo Colorado, 81009? That printing office?

I believe he specifically needs results for the right-hand drive version,
which wouldn't have been tested by NHTSA..
