Anyone interested in ARMORED E34?

....use one of those on my commute to work! What do you do when the regulator breaks on your 40mm think door windows!

Forget about these cars for daily drive. High fuel consumption, slow acceleration, high wear on suspension due to the weight.
In addition less comfortable, as the windows usually cannot be lowered or not completely depending on the protection type.
The front glass is usually the escape route in case of accidents and a small explosion comes and the window is gone. Otherwise one is trapped in the car.
All built-in.

1) Glass areas: Bullet-resistant glasses are 40mm thick, curved and contoured. Transparent armor multi-layer glass and polycarbonate inner layer to prevent spalling upon ballistic impact.

i bet it is sooo quiet =]

somehow I feel I have been cheated out of the "ultimate" quiet ride here!

yea but it's not drive through friendly, the drivers window is the only one that lowers and then only 6", i have a 92 750il with the factory insulated glass/fome in the door panels at the yard, it's around 1/2 inch thick and id love to have it but have no use for a e32

Ryan R, this seems right up your alley with your daily mob hits and all....

Our 540i was built in South Africa 11/93 and imported to Australia in 2002. It has supposedly bullet proof glass (but it isn't 40mm thick) and bullet protection in the doors somehow - I havn't looked yet. This level of protection (I am told) was/is common in South Africa because of the threat of armed car jackers who don't ask you to leave the car - they shoot you and drag you out - or so I was told.

All you need to do now is tell the Kiwis that they can't play cricket or rugby either and you might just need an armoured E34.
