My Ride: 1) 1999 750iL E38 (Not the Sport Version), family's ride, based in HK. Wish it had B6/B7 armour, but doesn't..
2) 2001 330xi E46 for the snowy winters. Steptronic, black, no sport package (was unavailable back then), std. multispoke rims.
3) Looking to acquire a BMW 3.0 CSL Series-3

B7 glass makes the car look armoured, the B6/B7 car doesnt look armoured unless you look very closely

I have an article from Popular Mechanics magazine that talks in great detail about O'Gara.. It says the glass on an Ogara armoured vehicle is 2.5-inch. and could stop a .50-calibre round. It might have been a .50 calibre handgun like that huge pistol that's used in the movies. I don't think it's from the .50 calibre sniper rifles I saw on a CNN story. I personally have not read about any armour, excluding any one-off pres. limos, on a vehicle that can withstand the .50-calibre rounds from the big sniper rifles. The ease with which they can be acquired is frightening, luckily I don't live in the U.S.
I've never been too interested in the pres. limo, much more interested in the Chevy Suburbans that follow behind it..

[/quote]The true .50 cal rifle is mounted in a helicopter, tank, jeep or ship not handheld it's lethal at a mile away! (Snipers)
.454 casull i think is the most powerful handgun round blackpowder notwithstanding.

BMW 760Li after assasination attempt.
Seems that this armoured BMW did pretty well. I'm guessing it was a High Security 760Li. It was attacked with explosives and assault rifle fire. I've never seen an armoured BMW after an attack though I have seen the aftermath of many armoured Mercs. I guess BMW Security Driver training helps keep these guys out of trouble.

There's a 750iL Protection Series on eBay for anyone interested.
