BMW PROTECTION VEHICLES.
For 40 years BMW has set the standard in the design and development of armoured vehicles.
People who bear the greatest responsibilities should be able to rely on certified protection – without having to sacrifice the unique driving experience that only a BMW Protection Vehicle can offer. BMW has been setting new standards in the design and development of armoured vehicles for over 40 years. Our current model continues this tradition in impressive style. Climb in and settle back, safe in the knowledge that you couldn’t be in a more secure or more relaxing environment. Every Protection Vehicle is custom-built, and every stage of the process is carried out with a craftsman’s attention to detail. The result is a vehicle that meets high standards of ballistic protection, while also fulfilling the most individual of requirements.

WHAT IS PROTECTED.
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’ (BRV 2009). So you can be absolutely 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 15 kg TNT in 4 m distance. Additionaly an extended roof protects against explosive devices such as the DTG5. An external underbody armour, made out of aluminium and ballistic steel, shields you against shock waves and splinter effects, coming from an attack with DM51 hand grenades. This underbody armour can be strengthend with fabrics1 to resist an attack with a HG85 handgranade.

Latest protection technology, made by BMW: Armour that is perfectely fitted to the standard model’s body shell. Thus the new 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 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 ERV 2010 and PAS 300 guidelines.
Furthermore, the new all-armoured window glass includes the so called “Post-Blast-Protection” which assures that impact areas remain safe – especially for secondary attacks. The all-armoured window panes remain in their position, so that no openings between glass and body arise. This way we prevent gaps between glass and body shell, 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 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 TRAINING LEVEL 1
Let’s get serious: As a chauffeur to important people, armoured vehicles are your daily business. But they are much heavier than normal cars, thus having a very different handling. How do I execute high speed manoeuvres? What do I need to know to do a safe emergency turn manoeuvre? Professional BMW instructors show participants all they need to know for their highly responsible job. And this is more than driving skills. Predictive driving, keeping the overview under tension and perfect vehicle control at night are core contents of this training.

Training time: two days and two overnight stays (Arrival and theoretical training in the evening before)
Number of Participants: Max. eight participants per group / two persons per vehicle
Vehicles: BMW Protection Vehicles and current BMW models
Prerequisites: none
Costs: On request

The ultimate coaching for professional drivers. Anyone who takes part in this advanced class, makes its training complete. How to cope in extreme situations, like escaping, handling an armoured car up to mental strength: everything what was learned in previous professional trainings will be intensified in those three days. On top there will be the next level of driving skills. Training sessions at night, escape scenarios under paintball fire, driving with car contact or fast Pace-Car-Laps on the racing line – everything that helps participants to belong to the best in their working field and to provide their clients with optimal security. This training provides you with the tools to be a pro-driver.

BMW PROTECTION VEHICLES: TRUST IS GOOD. EXPERIENCE IS BETTER.
A LONG TRADITION OF KEEPING YOU SAFE.
For more than 40 years, BMW has been developing and producing security 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.
