Presentation of this BMW BMW 7 Series Armored

The BMW 760i xDrive Protection VR9 was unveiled during the model’s presentation in 2022, as part of BMW’s G70 7 Series generation. Based on the flagship 7 Series platform, it is developed by BMW’s Protection Vehicle division, integrating discreet factory-fitted VR9 armor for high-security clientele.

Engine and Performance of the BMW 760i xDrive Protection VR9

This model is powered by a 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine producing 530 PS (390 kW) and approximately 750 Nm of torque. Power is delivered via an 8-speed automatic transmission to BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system.
Performance figures include an estimated top speed electronically limited to 210 km/h due to its protection class, and a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of around 6.6 seconds.

VR9 Ballistic Protection: What It Guards Against

Scope of Protection (VPAM BRV Standards)

The VR9 rating belongs to the European VPAM BRV (Vehicle‑Resistant Ballistic) classifications. At this level, the vehicle’s armoured structure can withstand ammunition such as 7.62 × 51 mm NATO rounds, including armor‑piercing variants. This corresponds to a required armour steel thickness of at least 14.5 mm.

The German testing authority’s data details that VR9 protection includes resistance to steel-core and full-metal-jacketed 7.62 × 51 mm NATO rounds, with velocities around 820–830 m/s.

Comparison with Other VPAM Levels

For context, lower VPAM classes provide protection against lighter threats:

• VR4 protects against handguns up to .44 Magnum
• VR6 defends against assault rifles such as the 7.62 × 39 mm (e.g., AK‑47)
• VR7 shields against 5.56 × 45 mm and 7.62 × 51 mm NATO non–armor‑piercing ammunition.

Thus, VR9 elevates protection to include armor‑piercing rifle ammunition, a substantial step up in security.

BMW’s VR9 Application

BMW’s 7 Series Protection (including the 760i xDrive Protection VR9) is certified under VR7 in its non-transparent zones, with many transparent components (e.g., armoured glass) also meeting VR9 standards.

Moreover, BMW’s more recent Protection vehicles—including both the i7 Protection and the 7 Series Protection (combustion model)— meet full class VR9 certification, covering ballistic and explosive threats per the VPAM BRV, VPAM ERV, and PAS 300 criteria.

These vehicles are also designed to resist 7.62 × 54 R ammunition—the highest civilian threat class VPAM 10—at least in armoured glass, while overall achieving VR9 certification.

An enthusiast forum corroborates this, noting that the 7 Series Protection (and by extension the VR9 variant) can withstand ballistic attacks from weapons traveling up to 820 m/s

VR9 Ballistic Protection – Threat Coverage

• VPAM BRV VR9: Requires a minimum armor steel thickness of 14.5 mm, designed to withstand 7.62 × 51 mm (.308 Win) rifle rounds, including armor-piercing and steel-core projectiles, at an impact velocity of approximately 820–830 m/s.
• Specifically, VR9 certification covers:
• 7.62 × 51 mm NATO (tombac FMJ, steel-core) at ~820–830 m/s.
• For comparison:
• VR10: protects against 7.62 × 54 mm R armor-piercing rounds (~860 m/s).
• VR7: covers .223 Rem / .308 Win non-AP rounds (~830 m/s).
• Certified protection against standard military-grade assault rifles, including armor-piercing ammunition.
• Meets VPAM ERV and PAS 300 standards for certain explosive threats, depending on vehicle configuration.

Weight Impact of VR9 Armoring (Protection Core)

• BMW 7 Series Protection (G73) curb weight: approx. 3,965 kg vs. ~2,345 kg for a standard BMW 760i xDrive – an increase of about 1,620 kg (~69% heavier).
• BMW i7 Protection: curb weight can exceed 4,300 kg compared to ~2,700 kg for the standard i7.
• In some configurations, weight can approach 4,900 kg, reflecting the fully integrated Protection Core structure.
