    F pedestrian safety ! If they want to be safe stop texting and listing to MP3 players when walking and try paying attention to traffic and environment around you.

    If they do not want to get hit "Stay out of the streets!" :incazzato:

    Maybe I should just drive with my air horns on all the time just so they are safe.

    I kinda like the new style flat nosed front ends on the new European designs. It really does eliminate the chance of a busted windscreen after mowing down a pedestrian or occasional inattentive cyclist....

    Hands at 3 and 9, stereo at 11 clicks and hammer down..! :beer

    Actually, BMW couldn't have kept the F56 the same size as the R56, because of the design changes necessary to meet the latest European pedestrian safety requirements. Most of the new length is in the front end - only 1.1 inches of the 4.5-inch increase were added to the wheelbase. Ugh.
