BMW i7 Protection – Electric Armor Solution
The new sedan was developed on the basis of the new BMW 7 Series. It succeeds in blending an unrivalled protection concept with outstanding levels of ride comfort and spaciousness. In addition, it includes exceptionally advanced equipment features and the class-beating dynamic prowess for which the brand is renowned. As the world’s first-ever protection sedan 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.
The integrated security concept of the new BMW i7 Protection was factored into the development of the new BMW 7 Series range. It centers on the new BMW Protection Core, which is unique worldwide and comprises a model-specific, self-supporting body structure made from armor steel. This is then combined with features such as additional underbody and roof armor and armored glass. Both models will be built at BMW Group Plant Dingolfing. Notably, they are produced in an elaborate “craft manufacturing” process.

Bullet and Explosive Resistant
The new protection models offer customized protection from attacks with firearms or explosives for at-risk individuals. They have been classified as offering class VR9 protection based on the internationally recognized official test criteria of Germany’s Vereinigung der Prüfstellen für Angriffshemmende Materialien und Konstruktionen (Association of Test Laboratories for Attack-Resistant Materials and Constructions – VPAM, for short). The certification is based, among other things, on the third edition of the guidelines for Bullet Resistant Vehicles regarding ballistic resistance. Additionally, it is based on the guidelines for Explosive Resistant Vehicles and PAS 300 regarding blast resistance. The glass even protects against fire from 7.62x54R ammunition — a threat from the highest civilian resistance class, VPAM 10.
Comfortable Design
The first all-electric model in its protection category, the BMW i7 Protection, demonstrates how outstanding qualities in security, driving dynamics, ride comfort, and interior comfort are perfectly compatible with a rigorous focus on sustainability. Its arrival sees the BMW Group once again acting as a pioneer in the field of locally emission-free mobility for individuals requiring special protection.
