well the passenger doesnt have to worry about a steel shaft going through their chest in a accident called a steering column
No the supposed reason was side impact and btw you want the airbag to hit you or hit it straight on.
your missing the point...the driver side will have additional engineering requirements compared to the passenger side.

no one is going know the real reason unless your a bmw engineer or have access to the m2 crash results.


if your really curious you can go on the nhtsha website and look up the US crash standards yourself and figure it out.
