Armor option - the BMW X5 (G05) Protection VR6

Here comes the brand new BMW X5 Protection VR6 generation G05. It celebrates its premiere in just a few days at the IAA 2019 and, as the name suggests, it meets the requirements of the VR6 resistance class. The armored version of the X5 provides effective protection against shelling from handgun and various long weapons with ammunition up to 7,62 x 39 FeC and 7,62 x 39 SC. Who is more concerned with it will find that here is also an AK-47 covered. The armored passenger compartment of the X5, for example, can withstand 4 meters of lateral impact with a maximum of 15 kilograms of TNT. The panes remain stable after such an impact to protect the occupants. But that has its price. For example, power windows are only available at an additional cost. They allow a maximum of ten inches of opening as anything but security risk is considered. There is a standard intercom and optional even LED speed camera for front and rear and a roof beacon with beep.

On the ground, however, the G05 has an armor that resists an attack with HG85 hand grenades. If desired, even the roof armor can be reinforced even further. Then even the protection against drone attacks with up to 200 gram C4 or various splinter bodies is guaranteed. And so that the X5 Protection VR6 can be moved after an attack, there are specific ones Post-crash functions, They do not switch off the engine and the electronics after a crash but allow intact systems to continue working as long as possible. Useful for this is also the special armor for the vehicle battery. Other invisible details include, for example, a leak-proof tank with self-closing sheathing, and of course the tires are also important.

Installed is a special tire with emergency running features which brings reinforced tire walls. Even if there is no more air on the tire, the X5, with the 530 PS V8 engine of the X5 M50i, can continue with it. And the key data is still impressive. The vehicle, which is much heavier than the series, sprints from 5,9 to 0 km / h in 100 seconds and reaches a top speed of electronically regulated 210 km / h.
