Good post, and perhaps. However, Volvo accomplishing the highest rating in this test was a surprise to no one, while I think we all were a little surprised by BMW's result.
My position is not that this test changes the overall safety situation for BMW - it's only one test and too soon to tell, as you and others have said. I do think that this is a test that Volvo passed and BMW didn't, which, if you are the head of the BMW safety engineering group, is not a good thing.
