To characterize any failed crash test as a small problem might sound a bit coldhearted. But in the grand scheme, that the i3 has come to a screeching halt amounts to almost nothing. It’s a curious little box riding on four pizza cutters, upon which BMW appears to have focused more attention on its carbon-fiber bits than the performance and range of its powertrain. And little doesn’t just describe the i3’s dimensions or sales numbers, it also describes the dummies that set the recall in motion. Specifically, it’s the dummies that stand (or sit) in for fifth percentile female humans that triggered this. For reference, a fifth percentile female is about five feet tall and weighs in at a wiry 110 pounds.
