Test drive BMW 7 E65 E66 2005 - 2007 sedan
Sicilian protection
The peasant psychology of a typical Russian forces him to build a fence earlier than his home, blow on the cold, until he became hot, put it away to take closer, not to believe his brother’s brother, but to believe his thin eye and beat immediately in the face, without looking into the passport. In the same depths of subconscious love for the world, according to Nikolai Fomenko, you should look for the force that pushes individual individuals to buy an armored car, without waiting for the bus with a ritual’s plate to send them. It is to such people to buy a personal BMW 760 LI in the High Security version, as the last means to achieve mental balance, and is recommended. 
By whom the armor rings. Of course, normal people do not go to armored cars. In extreme cases, they have it on the back of them. Imagine the terrible: God forbid, the war began. Will we go to her in the BMW 760 limousine even with the B7 security degree of BRV 1999, Din En 1063 and Din EN 152223-1? Or, nevertheless, sit in the T-90, BTR-80 or at worst UAZ Patriot, which to prepare for hostilities-only repaint. The answer is obvious. On the other hand, the BMW company, although it has long traditions of working on the defense industry, in this case, does not think about the war, and sees its clientele among civilians living in a peaceful life. But to offer an armored car for operation not at a hot point, but in London, New York or Moscow is strange. The fact that the BMW 760 Li High Security car is even more strange according to the BRV 1999, Din En 1063 and Din EN 152223-1 standards was made by the BMW company itself, and not some specialized tuning unit and sword in Sicily or Ingushetia. It turns out that the BMW company assumes not only direct functions for the production of vehicles, but also additional functions for the production of protective equipment. This world is imperfect, - the company's specialists suddenly discover the new truth for themselves. -In this world, someone always wishes evil to someone.
And what does BMW do? She begins to serve people who need armored vehicles. And this, as mentioned earlier, people are abnormal.
If I buy an armored car, then I am either Lenin (because I am on it), or I'm afraid of someone. And if I'm afraid, then, therefore, I recognize some sin. I admit that on my conscience it is restless that I had come to someone’s tail, maybe even committed a crime. And I am running to defend the BMW, which will fight with all its technological power so that I am not killed. That is, the BMW company, which for many years has been released from the BMW transformation into boomers, boys and arrows on the Moscow Ring Road, again got involved in the topic.
Nicknamed Beast. Now about the car itself. Of course, it is important that a person whose account was cutting the budget on children with disabilities and the daily struggle for oil wells and towers survive in conditions of total hatred and enmity. And, of course, BMW 760 Li armored car, in appearance completely indistinguishable from an ordinary seven, cannot be found. The products of the Nizhny Tagil Uralvagonzavod, represented by the T-90 tank, may not turn around on the Boulevard Ring, for example. BMW 760 Li High Security according to the standards of the BRV 1999, Din En 1063 and DIN EN 152223-1 thoroughly made. The car - now without fools - really makes a strong impression. It, the impression, begins to be made, you just need to try to close or open the door. In order for this to be possible, you need to either work with iron all the time in a harsh basel, or do it together and on command. It is clear that a crazy amount of kilograms weighs the door. This is the door nicknamed the beast. Glass in it drops quite a bit. So even spit inside the car, or not to throw a grenade there. When playing the role of a staff, I was able to make sure that it is impossible to get a parking ticket at the airport with such glasses.
By the massiveness of the door alone, I judge the quality of the rest of the structure. Obviously, in the tests for the BMW fortress showed animal seriousness. Here you were not just shooting a couple of times from Makarov, but added from everything that was possible: Kalashnikov’s machine guns, Steyer Aug, M-16 rifles and sniper Dragunov. And they were pulled from a distance of two kilometers, but from 30 meters. Then they threw a couple of grenades. If the owner comes to the head of the owner himself to verify the strength of the shell, then he can do this. Where the phone is hidden in a regular seven, here, probably, a couple of Heckler & Koch mp5 9x19 mm caliber with shops for them are hidden here. Further acquaintance with the car shows that it is equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system, sensors warning about a gas attack, a fresh air supply system, an oxygen supply for water, radio beacon and other things necessary for survival. You can start the BMW 760 LI motor from the remote control at a distance of 150 m. If it is torn, they explained to me, the person will be at a safe distance. This is how you need to go to the Russian people in order to order all these options, I thought.
For the first time, the BMW 760LI High Security, which received a special factory E67 index, was shown on the Geneva automobile show in 2003. The car is assembled at the factory in dingolphing. Control shooting is carried out at a special training ground near Munich. Unlike a number of armored cars produced by other auto -films, not only a passenger capsule, but also a motor compartment is wrapped in special protection. Which allows you to leave the shelling area. Michelin Pax tires are made using Run Flat technology. Even in case of damage to all wheels, the car will be able to drive 50 kilometers at a speed of 80 km/h.
Brotonemkin diarrhea. I started the motor in the usual way. I note that, with the exception of parts in the form of an arms box, everything else is here as in an ordinary seven. The usual Bavarian order. In the salon - deaf, as in a tank. I first got behind the wheel of such a car. As a passenger - it was a matter - familiar Katali in W140. But these were the times of legalized banditry, Sicilian customs on the Central Russian Upland, when armor and skin were synonymous. And here I am driving. The weight of the car is felt right away. 3.5 tons is not a joke! In reality, it is even heavier. After all, if you also put VIP there - and the persons who drive such cars are usually large businessmen in every sense, and Forbes magazine, in which they read to themselves, are also a large edition, then all four tons will gain. And with terrible bodyguards even more. So, despite the mass, the car is amazingly controlled. He stands excellent on the road. He is not even on the highway covered with ice crusted. On the contrary, it is thanks to the mass that it seems more balanced than the simple BMW seven for some sluggish 150,000 euros.
The dynamic indicators of such a machine are a conditional thing. What is 7.5 seconds? Probably, on the straight line of the German autobahn or nourburgering (where the car is rolled up), it will gain 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds. And somewhere on the dusty path of Afghanistan, when the driver sees how Mujahidean takes a terrible fly from his pocket, the car will accelerate in 5.0 seconds. Because there such energy will release - mom do not grieve. And if you have to leave the shelling zone, this can be done very quickly. Moreover, throwing two guards from the cabin. I thought that the car would be bad to stop. But I did not notice it. I think that both the brakes and the suspension under the armor are strengthened. And the engine, although they do not write, but they melt. I would generally be interested to see the filling. It is personified for this car - I do not think that there are, for example, standard gas shock absorbers.
Wendetta is a worst. High quality BMW 760 Li High Security according to the standards of the BRV 1999, Din En 1063 and Din EN 152223-1 does not cancel the fact that this is the pure fetish. Pathology - to buy such a machine for fading for the sake. There is something comic, mafia-parody, Sicilian. This is characteristic only of the third world countries. In our third world, there used to be a sample before our eyes - an uncle in a pyzhikova hat on a black Volga, and today - a bald person on a black boomer. As a real protection, this car is a one -time remedy. This is the last phase of existence, the last refuge for its owner. He can’t hide anywhere. Even in the jungle of the Amazon. It is doomed in advance. And if not in the physical sense, then in psychological. Tra-Ta-Ta-Ta. There were suddenly automatic queues. The lead hail fell on the car from all sides. The wheels turned into a sieve, but these were not simple wheels, but Run-Flat Tires, and therefore the car continued to move forward. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Something on the outside hissed. These bandits sprayed a bastard cherry on the car around the car. Akhtung alarming signal was lit on the display! Akhtung! Whose der is Luft! The driver of the car turned on the ventilation system, so dad never even sneezed. Bah! I hit the board and the grenade exploded. The car pumped a little, but even the ashes did not fall from the dad’s cigarette to the floor. Pluch! The bandits dismantled the bridge, and the armored car fell into the water, plunged into a 100-meter depth of Yauza. Dad took out a bottle of cognac, drank a glass and took out an oxygen cylinder from under the seat. It should be enough for a few hours. And the planes circled in the sky, an atomic submarine lay down next to the car at the bottom, sirens howled around the scene, and the alarming lighthouse sent a signal to the guards. What happened to you, Sidor Kuzmich? the dispatcher asked affectionately. Yes, Vaska was the worst still pulled me out,-dad answered dullly. And he died from the spinning gut.

The integrated BMW 760LI ballistic defense is able to withstand attacks using explosive devices and light rifle weapons with 7.62x54R AP caliber ammunition. Paul under the front seats withstands detonation from the explosion of two hand grenades. It was on the BMW 760li High Security that Anatoly Chubais rode on the day of the attempt on him exactly two years ago. BMW policy is not to sell armored cars, even used, random people.
