WHAT IS SAFETY.
Your circumstances, including where you live and work, the nature of your employment, and the kind of public visibility you enjoy, will determine how much protection you require. Only BMW, who has more than 40 years of experience in producing armored vehicles, takes into account these various needs.
All BMW Protection Vehicles are put through a rigorous testing process and are formally certified as complying with the globally accepted ballistic standards for “Bullet Resistant Vehicles.” Consequently, you may be certain that you are receiving the finest protection possible.
With the new BMW X5 Protection VR6, you can experience protection on a whole new level. The passenger cell is armored with high-strength steel components, and when combined with the armoured boot divider, which is included, it provides protection from hand- and long guns up to a 7.62 x 39 mm FeC calibre. Furthermore, a 7,62 x 39 mm SC calibre can’t penetrate the joint area. The most often used weapon, the Kalaschnikow AK-47, uses both calibres. Additionally, the armored passenger compartment can withstand lateral TNT strikes at a distance of 4 meters weighing 15 kilogram. A longer roof also offers protection from explosive devices like the DTG5. You are protected from shock waves and splinter effects from an attack with DM51 hand grenades by an exterior underbody armor constructed of aluminum and ballistic steel. Fabrics1 can be added to this underbody armor to make it more resilient to an HG85 handgrenade strike. 1 Add-on hardware.
Newest protection technology, produced by BMW: armor that perfectly fits the body shell of the base model. The new BMW X5 Protection VR6 is therefore difficult to tell from from a conventional model, both inside and out. When it comes to overlaying armor in vulnerable places like door joints, chinks, or at the transitions of doors and windows, our objective is of the utmost diligence. The model designation BMW X5 Protection VR6 includes the abbreviation,,VR6″ (,,Vehicle Resistance”), which stands for the resistance class that the special protection vehicle is certified with. There are several resistance classes for civil protection vehicles, ranging from VR1 to VR10. Additionally, this vehicle has received certification in accordance with the PAS 300 and ERV 2010 standards.
Additionally, the new fully armored window glass has “Post-Blast Protection,” which ensures that impact regions are secure, particularly from follow-up attacks. There are no gaps between the body and the fully armored window panes because they stay in place. By doing this, we avoid openings in the body shell’s glass that could serve as new sites of entry for attackers. In addition, underbody armoring and a self-sealing fuel tank that seals itself after damage provide your complete protection.

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. 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 7 impenetrable?
India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, and his family own a collection of quite envious-inspiring automobiles. However, Mukesh Ambani’s BMW 7 Series, which he travels in and costs Rs 8.7 crores (ex-showroom), commands the highest price. What makes this BMW 7 Series sedan so remarkable that it costs more than supercars and opulent SUVs? Let’s investigate.
The High-Security model of the BMW 7 Series, which is based on the top-of-the-line 760Li version of the luxury sedan, is the model driven by Mukesh Ambani. The subtle changes made to the 760Li to create the 7 Series High Security ensure that the vehicle doesn’t stand out too much from the “normal” BMW premium sedan.
The first armored vehicle to fully adhere to VR7 ballistic protection criteria was the 7 Series High Security. The glass on each bulletproof window is 65mm thick and weighs 150 kg, while the inside of the door panels are lined with kevlar plates.
Hand grenades and military-grade firearms like the AK-47 can’t harm the BMW 7 Series High Security. Additionally, high-intensity bursts produced by up to 17 kilograms of TNT can be withstood by the armored 7 Series. The 7 Series High security’s fuel tank is built of a self-sealing substance and is fireproof.
Additionally, the BMW 760Li High Security has oxygen stored inside it that may be used in the event of a chemical assault and is prepared to respond to them. Additionally, the cabin features an automatic fire extinguishing system and is fire resistant. The armoured BMW 7 Series can go up to 80 km/h even if its dual-layered tires are punctured by bullets.
The BMW 760Li High Security can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 6.2 seconds and can go as fast as 210 kilometers per hour. The armored BMW 760Li has an intercom system that may be used to summon assistance in an emergency and can be tracked by satellite.
The weight of the armored High Security is significantly greater than that of the basic 7 Series in order to achieve the VR7 criteria for armor protection. Thank goodness, BMW improved the limo’s suspension and braking system to accommodate the extra bulk.
The added features that make the BMW 7 Series High Security such a fortress on wheels cost a lot of money. The retail cost of the BMW 7 Series High Security, which is three and a half times more expensive than the standard model, is Rs 8.7 crores (ex-showroom). Additionally, the High Security registration fee was Rs. 1.6 crores, which is certainly enough money to buy 50 Renault Kwids! But if you can afford it, as Mr. Ambani does, paying a ludicrous amount for life makes perfect sense.

Are all BMW windows resistant to bullets?
No, ordinary windows made by the original equipment manufacturer are not always bulletproof. You must get in touch with Armormax or get an updated model from BWM if you want bulletproof windows. With our ballistic glass, the windows on your BMW or any other car can be upgraded.
