According to BMW, the SUV is designed with a "comprehensive system of protection against violent assault, kidnapping, and organized crime." This is certainly not a vehicle for the faint of heart.
The X5 Security Plus features a myriad of security features like an armored passenger cell with sealed joints that provide bullet-stopping protection in the seams where the armored body panels meet. The Security edition also features VR6-level blast-certified bullet-proof windows.At its heart, the X5 Security Plus is still a high-performance BMW product meaning it offers a quality driving experience. Propulsion comes from a 450 hp TwinPower turbocharged V8 engine mated to an intelligent all-wheel-drive system.
Take a look at this 2010 video in which BMW elaborates on the many features found on its line of Security models.
