The ‘Protection’ model of the 7 Series is markedly different from the stock version, as it is designed to endure extreme hostile conditions. Its body has been crafted from solid armoured steel which can thwart the attacks from X 54 R ammunition, which is capable of piercing armours.

The Protection models come with special 20-inch alloys and Michelin PAX run-flat tires, so they can travel at 50 miles per hour with totally flat tires. The Protection models are no different visually from their standard i7 and 7 Series models to maintain discretion, and their run-flat tires and flag holders are the only visual differences.
