Most people are unaware of the level of engineering involved in creating a modern car. It gets even more impressive once you start looking into something like a BMW that has been precisely engineered from top to bottom to deliver a fantastic driving experience. Driving 140MPH in a well engineered car doesn’t even feel dangerous from the driver seat. So many engineering safety features are involved, not just because of the “crumple zones” that factor in once you get into an accident, but also the rest of the components, which give you optimal safe control of your vehicle, preventing you from getting into an accident in the first place. This is a far cry from the cars of the 70s and 80s, which feel a lot more dangerous to drive with worse handling at 30MPH than a BMW M3 today at 200MPH.
