They do, but in most countries these are not publicly available. Only to people with special needs in that respect, like e.g. politicians.
The reason is, that an armoured vehicle with also bullet proof tyres can easily be misused as an extremely dangerous getaway car.

I remember seeing a E38 Protection for sale at a local dealer a few years ago. I walked around the car a few times and didn't notice what it was until I got a glimpse of the price. I was really impressed. It looked like any other 7 but upon closer inspection the give away was the really thick windows. The price was higher than the standard 7er but it was very reasonable for what you were getting.
