Armored Bimmer?

Yea you heard it right an ARMORED BMW!! But I don't like the price tag at all, not even the car is appealing to me lmao! But at any rate I just thought everyone on here should see this rare car. OH, as I can tell in the pics, may I point out they have an E500, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Suburban, Audi A8, Land Cruiser, Denali (Can Barely see it) and an Excursion (if you look hard enough) and some other for sale too. All you gotta do is pay $166,000 in one night and find a way to get it here from JORDAN. Oh and this guy has some real nice grammer.

Put enough armor on the Chris Bangle cars and they'll be ALMOST as solid as the pre-Bangle ones.

Wonder how much armored car business Jordan does in Israel? Is the armor used to keep the effects of the blast outside or in? Guess it makes it safer for people on the sidewalk . . .

Probably no more than an armored Benz....which, of course, is not chump change. M-B, Cadillac, and Lincoln have been doing VIP armored cars for years. The Secret Service just bought a new armored Cadillac a few months ago for President Bush.

I would have to test if it was really bullet proof before I put down the cash

Yes, the past 7 series came with an available protection package. Either that, or I knew of 2 families that took their 750s adn had them done up in armor...but I doubt that. The main distinguishing feature was if you were to roll down the window, the glass was about an inch thick.

they offered armoured cars in the US as well.

it was called the "Protection Series"

with bullet proof windows, run-flat tires, and armored body panels. I believe it was an "option" only available to the 7 series. not exactly sure.

this was in the late 90s and early 00s. not sure if they still got it.
