Safety

Active head restraints, two-row side curtain airbags, front airbags and side-impact airbags for the front seats are all standard.

Like most convertibles, the 128i convertible does not have the curtain airbags; it does have pop-up roll bars behind the rear seats that deploy in the event of a rollover.
