BMW 750iL Security Limousine Production, Armour Testing and Design Historic Footage

The BMW 750iL Security Limousine, also known in short as the “BMW 750iL S”, was an armoured version of the third-generation BMW 7 Series (E38). This bullet and explosives-proofed limousine was offered for nearly a decade, from the mid-80’s to the mid-90’s. It added 950 kg of security measures, including armouring, blast-resistant tyres, fire suppression, an air filtration system and even had storage for up to three firearms (with spherical gunports in the doors). All the glass windows and front and rear windshields were heavily reinforced, and the 750iL S also had a specially designed explosive cord around the front windshield, to facilitate a quick escape. ___ Video Timeline 0:00 – Production 3:24 – Armour Testing (Bullets & Explosives) 4:51 – 750iL Security, Features of Finished Car 6:15 – Design, Crash Testing and Driving Tests 7:33 – Driving and Interior 8:45 – Official State Car Use in Germany
