The BMW Protection Core enhances the structural integrity of both vehicles by reinforcing key areas such as the doors, underbody and roof. This innovation ensures optimum protection against a range of potential threats, including explosives, gunfire, drone attacks and hand grenades.
The new BMW 760i xDrive Protection
VPAM 10-certified armoured glass provides the highest level of civilian protection available, giving occupants unparalleled peace of mind. In addition, the 7 Series Protection features a VR9 rating, which gives it the ability to withstand ballistic attacks from projectiles traveling up to 820 meters per second.
The new BMW i7 xDrive60 Protection
The vehicles also feature PAS 300 blast resistance and self-sealing fuel tanks to minimize potential damage. The BMW 7 Series Protection is powered by a 4.4-liter V8 mild hybrid gasoline engine. The new drive system generates a maximum output of 390 kW/530 hp and a peak torque of 750 Nm (553 lb-ft). The intelligent BMW xDrive all-wheel drive system distributes power to all four wheels as required. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.6 seconds and has a top speed of 210 km/h (130 mph).
The electric BMW i7 Protection harnesses the power of two electric motors to deliver 400 kW/544 hp and 745 Nm of torque. While its acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) is extended to 9.0 seconds due to the enhanced protection measures, its top speed is limited to 160 km/h (99 mph).

The brand's commitment to safety and innovation has evolved over time to meet the evolving needs of security-conscious customers.
The BMW 7 Series Protection and BMW i7 Protection will be assembled at the Dingolfing plant in Germany. They will make their debut at the upcoming Munich Motor Show, with deliveries starting in December.
