BMW i7 Protection Is A Fortress On Wheels, Can Sustain Armor-Piercing Bullets via InsideEVs

in-house, and manufactured at the BMW Plant Dingolfing, the i7 Protection would be the world’s first protection sedan with an all-electric powertrain, as per the German automaker.

The sedan’s fuel tank incorporates a special casing that can seal itself upon being hit by a bullet to prevent fuel loss. The tires too appear purpose-built. The 20-inch alloys are wrapped around Michelin PAX run-flat tires, which can apparently run at 50 miles per hour even with total pressure loss. The images reveal a thick sidewall, which could be one of the few visual differentiators between a regular 7 Series, and the armored one.

Customers can also accessorize the Protection models with items like a fresh air-supply system, fire extinguishers with automatic and manual discharge, flashing lights, and radio transceivers among others.
