BMW’s First Bulletproof EV, the BMW i7 Security, is Coming
A few weeks ago, a rumor spread about an impending indestructible BMW i7 that would be used to transport significant European officials without having to worry about being converted into Swiss cheese. It was only a rumor at the time, but it is now confirmed. BMW has declared that an i7 Protection will be produced and added to the i7 lineup in 2023. The statement was made following the G7 Summit on June 26 in Schloss Elmau, Upper Bavaria. A few BMW i7 xDrive60 versions were employed as shuttles during the G7 Summit, and it’s possible that BMW brought up the idea of a bulletproof model with political leaders.
The next BMW 7 Series’ dynamic prowess, ride comfort, and interior comfort will be combined with an integrated protection concept that is exclusive to this class in a high-security car that will be introduced in 2023, according to Oliver Zipse, CEO of BMW. “Additionally, we will debut a high-security vehicle that is entirely electric for the first time, with no compromises made to the level of safety for our clients. It will be based on the BMW i7 and serve as an example of how sustainability and security can coexist.”
Given that it possesses the necessary chassis and technological capabilities, the BMW i7 will undoubtedly make a good security vehicle. According to Frank Weber, chief of R&D at BMW, “The new BMW i7 brings together a unique, all-electric driving experience with the most cutting-edge package of technologies available in the industry.” “So it appeared to us the only thing to do to use this high-tech product as a platform for a top-class high-security car.”
However, there will undoubtedly be a weight issue. With a weight of 5,820 lbs., the BMW i7 xDrive60 is already incredibly heavy (2,640 kg). Even if the i7 Security weighs perilously close to 7,000 pounds after all the armor plating, bulletproof glass, and additional seals to keep smoke and gas out, it wouldn’t surprise us. Power and range will suffer as a result of all that weight. However, when AK-47 fire starts bouncing off the armored body panels, I doubt any of the passengers will be particularly concerned about range.
Although the i7 Security’s armored protection does not yet have an official certification, the BMW X5 VR6 Protection is so titled because it features VR6-rated levels of armor. That indicates that it can fire ammo up to 7.62 caliber, which is most frequently used in AK-47 assault rifles. Additionally, it can withstand hand grenades, 15 kg of TNT thrown at it from a distance of four meters, and even underbody armor robust enough to withstand a hand grenade laid below it. Therefore, given how deadly battery fires may be, anticipate comparable protection for the BMW i7, notably underbody armor.
Although the specific date of the BMW i7 Security’s debut is unknown, it will happen sometime in 2023. There are certainly a lot of government officials in Europe who are very thrilled by such news, given the current situation of the world and politics.

Is the BMW 760Li unbreakable?
Every head of state need security that can resist AK-47 and bomb strikes. Before his travel to India, “The Beast – America’s President Barack Obama” automobile is currently a hot subject. Obama’s vehicle is undoubtedly more expensive, powerful, and heavy than our own Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s modest BMW, which is more maneuverable and quick to drive. Here is a little contrast between the two.
While serving as the Chief Minister of Gujarat, Mr. Narendra Modi like to drive a Mahindra Scorpio. He traveled in a Scorpio even after being elected and before swearing in as prime minister. But for safety and security considerations, Special Protection Group (SPG) passed on the Mahindra and went with the BMW.
The completely armored Cadillac driven by the American president undoubtedly draws attention, but our Prime Minister also likes the BMW with the special security version. The 760Li High Security Edition, which resembles the 745Li, is the vehicle awarded to the nation’s most powerful man. The 6.0-liter V12 engine in the 760Li generates 544 horsepower at 5250 rpm and 750 Nm of torque at 1500 rpm. This special edition BMW accelerates from 0-100kmph in just 6.2 seconds and has a top speed of 210kmph. It has an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The 760Li complies fully with the VR7 ballistic protection standard. Even areas that are transparent and opaque follow the VR9 protection standard. Although it could look like a typical 7-series from the outside, the armor is constructed of “extremely strong special steel” that conforms to the body like a second skin. The vehicle is built to withstand attacks using explosives or weapons that can penetrate armor. Additionally, it shields passengers from fires that start in the engine or underneath the vehicle. Run-flat tires, a self-sealing fuel tank, an attack alarm, an emergency exit, and an emergency fresh air system are further safety measures.
