In the most recent unveilings of BMW’s 7 Series, an intriguing paradox unfolds: shattered window panes that defy collapse, and a body riddled with bullet marks yet embracing an atmosphere of tranquility. There, amidst the chaos of bullets, the interior remains an oasis of serenity, untouched by the turmoil outside. It’s a symphony of contrasts, but this is no ordinary 7 Series – it’s the avant-garde, the new paragon of security: the latest Protection model.

The BMW i7 and the 7 Series G70 have undergone a transformation akin to a knight donning impenetrable armor. This transformation, known as the VR9 treatment, represents the zenith of ballistic fortification for civilian vehicles. A creation of BMW’s own engineering prowess, and meticulously crafted at the BMW Plant Dingolfing, the i7 Protection stands as a groundbreaking testament – the world’s inaugural safeguarded sedan to sport an all-electric powertrain, a feat proudly asserted by the German automotive titan.

The i7 Protection’s formidable physique derives its resilience from armored steel, a material primed to endure even the most formidable threats, such as the 7.62 X 54 R ammunition – a designation that conjures images of armor-piercing might. The outer façade boasts an armor of hot-formed steel alloy, while the roof and underbelly are shrouded in defensive plating, a shield against aerial assaults and explosive dangers.

In the realm of internal fortifications, even the fuel tank plays its part. A specially designed casing enwraps the tank, an ingenious contrivance that springs to action upon bullet impact, staunching the flow of fuel and thwarting potential catastrophe.

Turning our gaze to the wheels, an air of purposefulness envelops them. With 20-inch alloys adorning the rims, and Michelin PAX run-flat tires adroitly fitted, a unique feat emerges – these tires retain their functionality, propelling the vehicle at 50 miles per hour despite the complete loss of tire pressure. Observing the images, one discerns a robust sidewall, an unspoken proclamation of distinction setting apart the armored sentinel from its unadorned sibling.

Yet, BMW weaves subtlety into this tapestry of defense. The directive is clear – to cloak the protection models in a cloak of discreetness. Thus, the distinct markers are elegantly restrained: the ever-reliable run-flat tires and the dignified flag holder, a quiet nod to resilience.

As patrons consider personalization, a wealth of augmentations awaits. The Protection models stand ready to embrace a breath of fresh air, ignited by a dedicated air-supply system. Further, automatic and manual fire extinguishers stand sentinel, prepared to douse danger when it looms. Flashing lights and radio transceivers, among other accoutrements, complete this arsenal of safeguarding.

Mechanical prowess finds its match within the i7 Protection. Leveraging the formidable power of the i7 M70, the twin motors harmonize, delivering a commanding 544 horsepower and 549 pound-feet of torque. But, weighed down by its armor, the sprint to 0-62 mph adopts a leisurely pace – a graceful 9.0 seconds. The zenith, though, is capped at 99 mph, a safeguarded symphony of motion.

The realm of range, a critical facet for an electric sentinel, unfurls with anticipation. While specifics remain veiled, a tantalizing projection emerges – an estimated WLTP efficiency of 30 kilowatt hours per 100 kilometers. Calculated against the i7’s 101.7 kWh of battery capacity, a portrait of range begins to emerge – a canvas spanning roughly 210 miles. Note, however, this figure bows before the non-armored i7 M70, its range an esteemed 295 miles.

In the annals of luxury, the i7 Protection pens its own chapter. Within its embrace lies opulence reminiscent of its unguarded counterpart: the mesmerizing BMW Curved Display, a symphony orchestrated by the 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins Diamond surround sound system, and the resplendent seats, which in their indulgence unveil reclining realms complete with footrests – a testament to BMW’s dedication to pampering its 7 Series connoisseurs.
