A NEW STANDARD OF PROTECTION.

The New BMW 7 Series and BMW i7 Protection Vehicles effortlessly combine luxury and safety to create the ultimate protection vehicle, with no exceptions. As the world’s first ever protection saloon with an all-electric drive system, the BMW i7 Protection is a genuine trailblazer. Driven by two powerful electric motors, it meets all the requirements of class VR9 protection without any limitations, as does the new combustion-engine BMW 7 Series Protection.
DRIVING PERFORMANCE.
The BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system directs drive power to all four wheels of the BMW 7 Series Protection as required, allowing acceleration from 0 to 62 mph in 6.6 seconds with top speeds of 130 mph. The new BMW i7 Protection sprints to 62 mph from rest in 9.0 seconds, while top speed is electronically limited to 99 mph.

PROTECTION CONCEPT.

PROTECTION CORE.
The integrated security concept of the new BMW 7 Series and BMW i7 Protection centres around the new BMW Protection Core, which is unique worldwide and comprises the model-specific self-supporting body structure made from armour steel. This is then combined with features such as additional armouring for the underbody and roof and armoured glass. Both models have been classified as offering class VR9 protection based on the internationally recognised official test criteria of Germany’s Association of Test for Attack-Resistant Materials and Constructions – VPAM, for short.

DESIGNED TO STAY IN MOTION.
Everything in the new BMW 7 and BMW i7 Protection is designed to keep you moving in the most adverse conditions, whatever they may be.
PROTECTION EQUIPMENT.

BMW PROTECTION CORE.
The unique BMW Protection Core sees the entire supporting structure for the saloon’s body constructed from armoured steel. Its three-dimensionally engineered elements are all made of exceptionally resistant, hot-formed steel alloys. The BMW Protection Core forms a self-supporting protective cell, which is then combined with protection-spec doors, armouring for the underbody and safety glass.

BMW Protection Command Touch System.
The innovative touch operating concept of the special protection-relevant functions provide increased operating comfort and discreetness.

BMW 20” Alloy Wheels with Runflat function.
The new BMW 7 Series Protection and new BMW i7 Protection are fitted with 20-inch light-alloy wheels, which represents a standout offering in their segments and enables the use of a powerful braking system.
The model-specific light-alloy wheels in star-spoke design are fitted with tyres – supplied by Michelin in the dimensions 255-740 R510 – that have been specifically developed for the protection saloons. The large diameter of these tyres and the extremely high volume of air they hold compared with rivals enhance ride comfort, while the larger contact area benefits traction and driving stability. The PAX tyres have a runflat ring positioned on the wheel rim which allows the car to continue its journey at up to 50 mph even in the event of a total loss of pressure.

BMW Pennant Holder.
The new BMW 7 and i7 Protection can be equipped with BMW Pennant Holders if the car is required for official duty, available for both sides.

BMW Flashing lights and beacons.
The removable blue beacons can be ordered with audible warning signals (Authorities Sales only). In addition, blue and red flashing lights are available for the front and the rear as well as blue flashing lights for the mirrors or the side.

BMW Effortless Door.
Doors can be opened and closed immediately after unlocking the car reducing the force required to open or close the armoured doors. Also unique in this segment is a function that enables occupants to close the doors automatically at the touch of a button after entering the vehicle.

BMW Integral Active Steering.
The new BMW 7 Series Protection and new BMW i7 Protection are the first and only protection vehicles in their segments to be fitted with Integral Active Steering. This rear-wheel steering functionality not only reduces the car’s turning circle by approximately one metre when manoeuvring, it also increases precision and the dynamic response. Another key attribute of Integral Active Steering is its comfort enhancing ability for rear-seat passengers.

BMW Parking Assistant Plus.
The highly advanced sensors provide precise and detailed information on the area around the vehicle in all situations. The requisite data and images are supplied by e.g. the Parking View, Panorama View, Remote 3D View and BMW Drive Recorder functions included in the Parking Assistant Plus package. Also on-hand are the alert functions of the front-collision warning, Crossroads Warning, Lane Departure Warning and Speed Limit Info systems.

BMW Kidney 'Iconic Glow'.
Contour line lighting impressively showcases the BMW Kidney ‘Iconic Glow’. This feature can also be deactivated.

BMW Crystal Headlights 'Iconic Glow'.
