Thread: Luxury and Security. 2012 BMW 740i (Armored CEN Level B5+)

Wow crazy that you need all that armor in the car. Hopefully nothing happens to you and your family...Just out of curiosity you can go an extra 50 miles after your run flats are punctured before replacing them?

Well theres an approximate of how much mile the run-flats can roll but the critical factor here its the speed of the vehicle... so depends on the situation, the exact measure (speed/miles) I forget it

Oh I see. I think the avg is about 50 miles going 55mph. Hopefully you don't have to come across one of those situations though.

You should have kept the ferrari F430 and made it armored CEN Level B5+....that would be sick haha!!! ;D . Still, the BMW is a great car and hopefully there will be a time where all this protection is not needed!

Yeah but I prefer a respectful death fighting for my life than a shameful death kidnapped and later executed by a bunch of moronic idiots

This car is 100% stock. It is not armored. You only need to look at the areas around the pillars to see that the glass is of normal thickness.

Here is a real one:

More pictures, note the thickness around the pillars, masked by black outline around the glass.

Does Maximiliano Riebeling have a response to this claim, maybe photos of the windows half rolled down or anything?

Didn't max say it was only B5 if so isn't that just half way armored to the black one? The black one seems to be B7+.

Even a B5 armoring would have some noticeably, to make glass bullet proof you need layers which does take up a great deal of thickness.
