BMW, without a doubt. But, I'm admittedly biased on the subject...
I've told this story before on the site, but my wife and I were hit by a drunk driver in April 2007 (he was drunk enough that he passed out at the wheel after the accident). He was driving a big station wagon, and we were in a 2006 BMW sedan. He came across the center line and hit us head on...it's estimated he was driving 70-75 mph when he hit us. Pretty scary stuff.
When the insurance people saw our vehicle, and read the police report, they figured that we had died in the accident. We got many comments from people who saw the vehicle along the lines of "You're lucky to be alive."
At the end of the day, we ended up with a few broken bones and other relatively minor injuries. The way the airbags and safety systems worked in that car...they saved our lives. The car essentially created a cushion around us, shielding us (as much as possible) from the impact. The car took a beating, but we're still around to tell the story.
I'm sure there are other vehicles that would have done the same thing. However, my wife and I will always be loyal BMW customers because of what happened that day.
