2015 Bmw 335xi Safety Report

The 2015 BMW 335XI exhibits a remarkably low number of reported safety complaints to NHTSA, with only 2 total complaints, 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 deaths. This suggests a generally robust safety record in terms of owner-reported issues. The primary complaint categories are 'STRUCTURE' and 'VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM', each with a single report. One specific complaint details an intermittent door lock failure, while another describes a traction control warning illuminating and the vehicle losing momentum, indicating potential issues with vehicle speed control or the traction system. NHTSA has not provided specific crash test ratings (Overall, Frontal, Side, Rollover) for the 2015 BMW 335XI, making it difficult to assess its performance in controlled crash scenarios. However, the absence of reported crashes in the complaint data is a positive indicator. There is one recall associated with the 2015 BMW 335XI, concerning 'EXTERIOR LIGHTING'. This recall, affecting various 3-series models from 2012-2015, addresses a potential issue where side marker lights may not illuminate. The consequence of this defect is increased risk of a crash due to reduced vehicle visibility at night. Owners should ensure this recall has been addressed. Overall, while crash test data is missing, the very low complaint volume and single, relatively minor recall suggest a generally safe vehicle, though the specific issues reported warrant attention.

Our recommendation: Given the very low number of NHTSA complaints and only one recall, the 2015 BMW 335XI appears to be a reliable choice; ensure the exterior lighting recall has been addressed before purchase.
