Safety is a lot easier to measure than "ultimate driving machine"-ness.
Volvos are traditionally very safe cars, but - as somebody else already
pointed out - the early 90s 100/200 models and the A6 had them beat in
their class.

No safer than many other cars, and not as safe as A6...Looks like you 
were another victim of "down your throat advertising". 
"What?? BMW really IS the ultimate driving machine? I must get one"
After 
all, if they say so, it must be true, right???
