Certification
All BMW Protection Vehicles are subjected to a comprehensive testing regime and are officially certified on compliance according to the internationally recognised ballistic guidelines for ‘Bullet Resistant Vehicles’ (VPAM BRV 2009 & ERV 2010, Fassung 2). So you can be confident that you are getting the best possible protection.
Protection level
Experience protection on a new level – with the new BMW X5 Protection VR6. The armouring of the passenger cell is made out of high-strength steel parts. Combined with the armoured boot divider as standard, it protects against hand- and long guns up to a calibre of 7.62 x 39 mm FeC. Furthermore the joint area is also protected against a calibre of 7.62 x 39 mm SC. Both calibres are used in the most popular weapon, the Kalaschnikow AK-47. Moreover, the armoured passenger cell withstands lateral attacks of 12.5 kg PETN which corresponds to an equivalent of 15 kg TNT, in 4 m distance. Additionally, the optional extended roof protects against fragmentation charges up to 200 g such as the DTG5. An external underbody armour made out of aluminium shields you against shock waves and splinter effects, coming from an attack with DM51 hand grenades (double charge). This underbody armour can be strengthend with fabrics1 to resist an attack with a HG85 hand grenades.

Latest protection technology, made by BMW: Armour that is perfectely fitted to the standard model’s body shell. Thus the BMW X5 Protection VR6 is hard to distinguish from a standard model – neither from the outside nor from the inside. Our aspiration is of the highest diligence when it comes to overlapping armour in sensitive areas like door joints, chinks or at the transitions of doors and windows. The abbreviation „VR6“ („Vehicle Resistance“), that is part of the model’s name BMW X5 Protection VR6, represents the resistance class, that the special protection vehicle is certified with (VPAM BRV 2009, Edition 2 in the current version). Civil protection vehicles are classified in different resistance classes, ranging from VR1 to VR10. Additonally, this vehicle is certified according to the VPAM ERV 2010, Edition 2 guidelines.
Furthermore, the vehicle includes the so called “Post-Blast-Protection”. This means that all armoured window panes are protected from secondary attacks. The window panes remain in their position when subjected ot explosives. No openings arise between glass and body, that could be used as further points of attack. On top, the Self-Sealing Fuel Tank, that reseals itself after damage, and Underbody Armouring ensure that you’re protected all around.

BMW SECURITY DRIVER TRAINING ESPECIALLY FOR BMW PROTECTION VEHICLES.
Training for the worst-case scenario is a good way to make sure it never happens. The BMW approach to security goes beyond just the vehicle itself. Specially-tailored driver training courses are also available, teaching skills that are useful to any Security Vehicle driver and demonstrating how to get the most out of the BMW 7 Protection and the BMW X5 Protection VR6. In two different types of trainings, drivers are given the opportunity to practice the best ways to handle dangerous situations – because that way, hopefully these situations will never arise. Please refer to the brochure for detailed information on the two BMW Security Driver Training courses we offer.

BMW PROTECTION VEHICLES: TRUST IS GOOD. EXPERIENCE IS BETTER.
A long tradition of keeping you safe.
For more than 45 years, BMW has been developing and producing protection vehicles that meet the highest standards. One of the most important experiences: Only those who fulfil all aspects of a security concept from a single source can develop a vehicle with comprehensive protection without making compromises. The integration of the protective measures and the associated additional weight are already taken into account during the development of the production vehicle. In combination with innovative materials and state-of-the-art development techniques, this approach enables the perfectly coordinated integration of all protective elements at the start of production.
