Is there an armored 7 series (G12) in the works? I have seen a few from the previous generations, politicians and crooks (if there is a difference) seem to love them.
Hmmm perhaps put integrated armour plating in the back of the rear passenger seats and in the trunk tailgate(s) and it’s glass as it seems like they ran out of care factor to integrate seamlessly at this area (that didn’t take much thinking and it doubles the protection. Maybe they should of also upgraded the engine to make sure it’s not slower given the extra weight.
Fitting effective armour into the tailgate of this type of SUV with ballistic glass is basically impossible to do properly. It's one of the reasons why saloons or fixed glass are preferred. A pane of VR6 polycarbonate ballistic glass of that size weighs around 170-200kg, then the plating in the tailgate would then add at least another 50-120kg to it too. So not only would it be literally horrendous to open if done manually, it would also be so hideously wearing on motors and struts if done automatically. Then, the injury if the mech failed and it came slamming down onto your head would be fatal for sure. This is a clean compromise where the tailgate is still functional, able to be used properly and still has the same level of protection as the rest of the vehicle. I spent most of my 20's and 30's working for another manufacturer armouring vehicles, some companies who armour X5s, X7s and Range Rovers user lesser plating and thinner glass in the tailgate so it can be lighter, but this is a safety compromise I wouldn't accept myself.
The passenger compartment being armored is cool; but with out protection for the engine it makes the vehicle vulnerable to being disabled by gunfire. The idea behind a vehicle like this is to be able to offer enough protection for the occupants to extricate themselves from an attack.

The perfect vehicle for my daily commute in Brazil
😂
That's a perfect car for your transactions 😁
It is also the perfect vehicle in SoCal where your daily drive is not get shot up on the freeways.
And South Africa
No lies detected 😂😂😂@@NThabethe
Good to see it’s produced by BMW. Some 3rd party companies who convert regular vehicles to ‘armoured’ are not always what they seem.
U know wut u talking about
The German companies are all certified
Only thomas could talk about sustainble upholstry on an armored suv :)
And that´s exactly why I just ordered, not one but to of those😂
What is he, vegan?
That vehicle is just begging to be in a good action movie. It looks menacing in all black!
Secret Soldiers of Benghazi style.
This was fun. Wouldn't mind more armored cars videos
What a nice video. You have a gift of narrating things relaxingly and interestingly.
👌
"I am your Father" i laughed so hard xD
=)
Best opening to a UA-cam video ever. Thomas is a legend and only he could deliver this review.
cheers m8 =)
A really unexpected video, but I love surprises like this one! Thanks, Thomas!
I'd use it for my mother-in-law visits
I am your father. 😂
In Hindi it goes like, Main tera baap! and we use it for same context LOL
I live in Argentina not very safe country...in 2009 I had a BMW 550i protection VR3. Love that car
Thomas, did you just leak the return of Vader in Episode 9? 😂😂
sorry bout that =)
Hey, I can use this car to drive to school in America!
You meant Driving through school? Lol
And sit in the classroom aswell
Damn maybe to soon bruh
@@YH-eb1qb its always to soon, its happens every day so...
If you live in Bolivia, Columbia, Mexico, Venesuela, Brasil, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua or Puerto Rico this car could also be useful to save your life
It will break down before you'll ever need to use the armour. It's a bmw.
you forgot east LA
David Davidsonn 😂lmao yes
stilkus yes, it is not exactly a land cruiser if you know what I mean
You won't afford it if you live in Venesuela
What a very unique review Thomas! Love to see more of these special vehicles on the channel!
I thought this car had a Volkswagen VR6 from the title 🤔
yeah I thought so too :D
The day BMW uses a Volkswagen engine is the day hell freezes over.
Or you live in Mexico 🇲🇽
Or London
Or Brazil
Or any city in Sweden
Or singapore
@@DontTouchMeDude9416 Stop spreading false information, please!
Dad and son having too much fun!
Thanks Autogefühl for covering this unique car 🧡
Goverment od Slovenia just bought a few of these exact vehicles and one mercedes S class with vr8. 5x with vr6 protection. Great video btw
Cheers!
@@visionist7 VR10
@@visionist7 vr10 but its too heavy and the car is very slow. Might as well travel in a tank
Well your neighbors can still key your car if they don’t like you :D
This thing is a beast! I think bmw makes the best high security vehicles in the world.
Great review, nice talk with the loudspeaker 😂😉👍
=)
Thomas . Always awesome!
What a beast!!! BMW is getting back to its usual standards 💪💪💪
And this one, my friend, is a true tank...
All gangsta rappers upvoted this video.
The price is £450000 for "standard". Finally something I can go to my local shop here in Oldham Manchester.
450 k?
@@autogefuehl yes that's UK price.
Great video Thomas.
Thank you for your high quality work!
appreciated!
It will break down in one week. Thanks BMW
it will break down every week... thanks for paying your bills on time BMW owner
The most beautiful SUV and the coolest SUV on Earth 🌍 ever!
Great review, something different and interesting!!!
The new James Bond car!
Looking sharp Thomas 👌
But ive never seen one of these being attacked, you only see toyota landcruisers and what not perhaps because of tax
Cool music at the beginning of the video!
If Doug demuro made a video of this car the video would be at least 1,5 hour long because of all the quirks and features 😂
THIS is a 2019 BMW X5 Protection VR6 which is one of the toughest SUVs in the world and today I'm gonna show you why.
Perfect for South African Driving 🇿🇦
Is there an armored 7 series (G12) in the works?
I have seen a few from the previous generations, politicians and crooks (if there is a difference) seem to love them.
Thomas have you ever considered being an actor in an action film? You'd fit in just right. :)
😎
Need one to drive in Hong Kong now.
Need this for my daily commute to and from downtown Chicago...
The opening theme music I remember listening to it in a Rheinmetall MAN video.
That's awesome!
Looks like i should get one of these here in vegas
Perfect for Black Friday 😂
Or you live in the south side of Chicago
so main focus there will be hit the motor and disable movement.
It's for Johny Wick.
So awesome, when dreams come true 😢❤🔥
You would want to remove the blue strobe from the roof top

I‘d use it to drive to the local bakery for our Sunday rolls...
So do deer roll right off this thing at 60mph or what?
Is there a Version with a cannon on the Hood? I take 2.......
Do a Mercedes armor too
Wi have to protect zeuh President !
Best military vehicle in the wolrd
Since you mentioned TeamSpeak, Thomas, what games do you play?
hey m8 =) oldschool teamfortress guy...
And I'm not talking about TF2 ;-)
Straight outta Compton! :P
Ah, Autogefühl. Always reviewing the cars for the average person.
What is wheel and tyre combination? would it be possible to have the wheel /tyre combination on an X3
How much is the price of this bmw?
Beautiful, except the little blue light on top
love how angry it looks but front looks open... look at the radiators at front ..
Ultimate Darth Vader mobile
Commissioned for Angela Merkel 😂.
Wow! 😮 Nice car
Where are the cup holders
Review of A6 allroad and E class allterrain?
The price of that x5 bulletproof?
It's nice car and have great protection from explosives and weapons.
I must admit I am disappointed that it doesn’t transform into a robot.
LOVE
The passenger compartment being armored is cool; but with out protection for the engine it makes the vehicle vulnerable to being disabled by gunfire. The idea behind a vehicle like this is to be able to offer enough protection for the occupants to extricate themselves from an attack. You can’t do that if someone dumps a mag through the bonnet and renders it inoperable.
Please review kia telluride
Great for Brazil, Mexico, South Africa and California
PODRIAN PRODUCIR, EL MISMO VEHICULO TAMBIEN CON MOTOR DIESEL.
Does he come with the car 😍
What about the tyre? Is that also bullet-proof?
Not in the normal spec. Guess if you are in a real danger region, it could be useful to ride on mousse
Why do they make armoured version of X5 instead of X7?
That Darth Vader was a bit too real .
i live in Zurich and I need one...
GUYS! THIS IS THE CAR WE NEED TO RAID AREA 51
Great car for Rio de Janeiro :D
This car should at least play one scene in a James Bond movie!
7.62 x 39 resistant. Nice
This is what we need in Nigeria right now. Was this built by BMW?
All info in the review!
@@autogefuehl It wasn't mentioned in the review if the car was built by BMW or another armoring company.
You can really throw bomb under this bmw
but can you make a smaller higher security version for american schools
Run flat tires do not fill with sealant like the gas tank does. That is a common misconception.
Tyres have a moose inside them. Just like the World Rally cars did in years gone by
Amazing I want one : )
PLEASE DO ONE ON THE RANGE ROVER SENTINEL :)
Price
Imagine if the aircon breaks
I live in Australia so hopefully won't need this vehicle any time soon.
Can u use the blue lights
