Hello friends, my name is Gagan, and welcome to today's video Where I have the 6th generation 7 series How is it 6th generation? Well, actually, it is a 7-series
protection, as you can see here. This is an armoured vehicle Which is preferred by many heads
of state and many VVIP people because it is bulletproof and bombproof. In fact, there is a 7 series protection in the fleet
of the Indian government, Prime Minister. Which was purchased when Mr.
Atal Bihari Vajpayee was there. Now, it is used l
ess. Because now, they have a Land Cruiser and a Mercedes latest one. But it's possible that they will replace that vehicle with this vehicle. Let's know everything about it, what are the features? What are the things that have been changed? and what are the grades of things? What are the features inside? Everything. Let's start with the key. The key is the same as BMW's latest key fob. It is the same regular key, Obviously, nothing extra has to be done in it. There is no need to make it bulletp
roof. You get lock and unlock switches and all. But, there's not a typical German system where you press unlock and
all the windows roll down. To cool down your car. There is no such system here. The person who has this vehicle, He will have a backup option as to who will keep the vehicle warm or cold, What temperature should it be kept at? Anyway, it looks similar to the regular 7 series, there is no difference if you remove 2-4 things which can be removed by the way. Here, it is given to put a
flag, these lights and all. If you remove this, you will not be able to tell the
difference even from a distance. And your brother will tell you the differences, How you can spot whether this
is a bulletproof car or not. By the way, this car is bulletproof,
bombproof, and everything. The regular chassis of the 7 series has a lot
of ballistic 10mm thick steel everywhere. So, because of that, these things happen. The overall grade of the body is VR9 and the grade of the glasses is VR10. Right now
, you are getting the same
thing in the front, the regular one. There is no difference here. But, notice this, These are PEX tyres. Especially, if you notice from here, You will notice that the alloy, Actually, I will have to move it up a bit. The alloy of the car protrudes, it comes out from the outside. The tyres are a bit thin. So, you can easily gauge whether the car is bulletproof or not. Because the tyres are there. By the way, PEX tyres are based
on the same run-flat technology. In the sa
me way, you can drive
up to 30 km on 80 kmph, despite the fact that they are punctured. After that, notice this thing here. The glass has multiple layers. Overall, the glass area may be a bit small. And that tells you that this grade is bulletproof. If you get a chance to touch it, then hit it like this. You will literally feel that you have hit a stone. Which is not the case with any other car. Same thing goes here. You will see a thick pattern. That means this is a bulletproof glass. So, thing
s can be known with these details. But mostly, the people who buy these cars, They usually keep a distinguishing factor on it. Like, these lights and all. And what do they do? They buy regular 7 series and get 2-3 things done in that as well. So, it becomes difficult to identify which car is actually bulletproof
and which one is mimicking. No one does this, that they want to take a bulletproof
car and show it as a regular car. Because then those things are not possible. Many technological challe
nges arise there. Anyway, there is no change in the side as well. Everything is intact. The typical design patterns of the new 7 series. The doors, door handles, etc. Which are electrically released. Everything is intact here. There are no changes in the fuel lid as well. You have to fill up the regular petrol fuel. By the way, this is a V8 engine. Yes, and it comes with an 8-speed transmission. We have seen this V8 engine in
the regular 7 series as well. It produces 530 horsepower. And it does
0-100 kmph in 6.6 seconds. Why is it slow? Because, obviously, it has gained weight. It weighs 4,000 kilograms without
any other person sitting on it. 4,000 kilograms. Which is still lighter than the previous generation. It has lost 200 kilograms because of the way the grade steel has been used. It has the same strength but the weight has become lighter. I will go inside. Before that, I will walk around and see If anything has changed. Let me show you the tyres. 255/740 R 510. The 510 is the ove
rall dimension of the wheel. 740 is the dimension of the tyre plus wheel. And 255 is the overall wide patch. We had seen Michelin tyres
in Audi A8 security as well. We've seen the same thing in S-Guard as well. So, the same thing is available here as well. And by the way, there's protection So, it doesn't mean that the engine's
working mode has changed. The breathing grill is still intact. The light gets lit up. You can see it in the photo. So, all those things are still working. Just not gettin
g a sunroof shows the difference. By the way, in many countries, you can get cars without sunroof. Unless, as we assume, The sunroof will be installed in luxury cars. That is not the case. Let's go inside. Okay. Let's talk to the inside. What are the things inside? But, first, I will close the door. It will completely conceal me from the outside. It conceals me so much that if I shout from inside. Hello! Hello! Hello! No one will notice. The same person will also not notice, To whom I have entru
sted the
job of taking care of me. Let me move the seat back. Because, there is a lack of space here. I think a short-height person must be sitting here. Anyway, here, a lot of things look the same. It looks like the regular standard 7 series. But, things start changing. If you notice the screen properly, How? Firstly, you notice the lock and lock button here. Actually, it is not working. I think, it is disabled here. Because, if someone presses anything, There are many things that are irreversi
ble. e.g. if I turn on the fire extinguisher, It is irreversible. If I turn on the alarm, it is irreversible. Then the SOS will start going. After that, there are multiple things here. The siren, how it should be turned on, its pattern is given here. If there is a beacon, it should be turned on. Right now, hazard lights are coming on it. Because the beacon installed above isn't working. You can see the light working in the front Like I have turned it off. If you notice, In the background You mus
t be seeing the lights turning on and off. Now, it is turned on. So, you can control these lights from here. The fuel lid opening, etc. You've to control everything
with this infotainment. This thing was not there in the last 7 series. The competition car was not there. All of them have dedicated physical buttons here. Now, I don't know how people who are buying this, How do they consider it? Do they consider that it can be a little threatening? What if this system doesn't work? Or do they think
that this is a futuristic technology? I don't know. It depends on the prospective buyer. But, everything else is good. Because, it will integrate everything in the screen. Which is actually big. So, you have space intact like that. You have a charging pad here. I will put it here. We have this here. Actually, a wireless charger? Yes, this wireless charger is working here. Here, you have two cup holders. All of these are provided to control the infotainment. You have the engine start/stop here.
The gear selector is provided here. The same 8-speed gearbox is provided here. The ZF transmission, which we've seen in other cars. Here, you have the steering wheel, Every control is same, nothing is different. It comes in the M Sport package, by the way. That's why you get to see the M
badge on the steering wheel. Now, there are a few more things. Like this is the luggage compartment. I'll show you the rear door luggage compartment. That is open. Actually, I had shown you. Its warning light is
coming here. You've an electrochromic mirror here. However, this electrochromic mirror
is not showing the back properly. The reason is that there is a shade at the back. I will remove it and show you. You won't get sunroof. You need an armoured vehicle. You need a sunroof as well. All these things can't be done together The console is the same here. There is no difference. You get to see the lighting here. It is quite dark here. The reason being, I have switched off the lighting at the back. Ot
herwise, let me switch it on. I turned it on. You have to switch it on from the back. It is not working for reason. That light isn't turning on. But Alcantara is used here completely. It looks great. If you want to know about the mirrors, You have the lights here, But does it extend or not? It doesn't extend. Actually, there's no space left for getting extended. The remaining space is obscured by the solid plate. Anyway, everything is fine. Everything else is the same. You get a device here. It
is a mic. If you have to speak to the outside. Because, as I was saying, you can't hear the outside. Like if I call Lalit, I will call him silently. Lalit He can't hear anything. Because it is such a thick shield of metal. That you can't hear anything. So, I can use the mic to call him. So, he definitely gets to hear. But I don't have to call him Anyway, nothing has changed here Let me tell you one more thing
before taking you to the rear seat. The door releases electrically I pressed it The doo
r goes forward electrically Then I have to push it, obviously So, I pushed it Now, the door can be easily
pushed despite its 200 kg weight. But it gets pushed easily, There's no issue. Yes, I have to show you one thing, windows. Just look at this. Forget one touch-up/down, anti-pinch feature etc. If it pinches, your hand will come out. I have closed it again. There is one thing in itself, the way it moves. Before closing this, I want to show one more thing. I will have to open this door. Protect
ion core, This chassis, Which is of 7 series, But when ballistic steel is added to it, its name changes to Protection Core. No carbon fibre is used here. There is one more special thing on the rear seat, Which I will show you. Space etc. I had pushed this seat all the way back. I will push it forward. I have pushed it forward. Roughly in the space where I will sit comfortably. By the way, soft close function is available here. So, what things are there in the rear seat? First, you get a very goo
d space. There is no problem with it. Not just that, you get a good headroom too. Because there is no sunroof, then the extra addition here in terms of steel etc. So, it doesn't take up space. Everything fits here in the sunroof space. You can see the lights at the back. If you want to unlock the door, there's a button here. By the way, there can be a
small blast in all the doors. So that, if the doors don't open in an emergency, The hinges of the door can be
broken with the help of that blast.
And you can get out after pushing it. But for now, I will close it. And I am going to show you something amazing. You are sitting here. No one can see you. Literally, no one can see you from outside. It is tinted and there is a shade inside too. But there is a spy mode. If you want to do things like a spy, there is a spy mode. This is blinds. And when you open this blind, the screen changes from the regular BMW 7 series. I clicked on this. And here comes the spy position. In the spy position, it
opens slightly. You can see what is happening outside. If the Prime Minister is here, he will wave like this. Oh, sorry, the President will wave like this. The Prime Minister is an open-hearted person. How can he wave like this? He can wave by removing the blind completely. So, these things come here. And also, the rear curtain, which I was telling you about,
you can remove it like this. These things are available. There is a lot of space in the rear seat. But what other amenities are there? Le
t me open it first. Here you have seats, lights,
blinds and related modes. Now, obviously, it isn't like the 7 series. You turned on the relaxed mood and the TV screen will come out. There is no TV screen here. It would have been too much. But apart from the modes, You can adjust the seats and the massage position. Yes, you can get a massage in the seats. You can do that here. Which is a very nice thing. Getting a massage adds a little comfort here. So, there is no compromise on comfort. But the
re are some things hidden behind everything. Like, here, there's a red alarm system. Like the one I showed you in the front. This is a distress alarm. If you press it, the siren doesn't make a sound. An alarm makes a sound. If there is a problem, the alarm sounds and the SOS calls go away. Anyway, you have storage spaces here. Let me open it and show you. You get to see two USB type-C. So, no matter how big a person sits here, They will charge their phone with a USB type-C. Here, you have a frid
ge. Big people keep champagne in the fridge. So, even if I'm saying this in a funny way. But I am saying that there is no
compromise on convenience features And, especially, It doesn't take up a lot of space,
even though it protrudes slightly. Which is amazing. Let me get out of here. It is difficult to push this. There is no problem with the rest. By the way, if this electric switch is not working, You don't have to blow the bomb every time. There is a manual release here. You can go out with t
he manual release. After that, you can use the bomb. So, this is all about the BMW 7 Series protection. Obviously, it is not like you will go to buy it and ask for a consultation. I'll send you my consultation for Rs. 5000-6000. That is not the system here. If you want to buy it, don't take my consultation. Because I've never driven any armoured vehicle. But, definitely, many people will find it interesting. Because, this is the latest armored vehicle out there. Which is one of the three German
companies. Now, it is a bit old. It doesn't mean that there is
a lower level of protection. They are just old compared to it But I you loved the video, if you have any doubts or questions, You can ask them in the comment section. I can answer them. That's all for this video. I hope you like it. If you enjoyed the video, please
like, share, and subscribe. Wear a helmet and seat belt. drive safe, Thank you. Wear a helmet and seat belt Because your vehicle doesn't
have an armoured system. Its NCAP
rating will be 5+. NCAP testing barrier can break. Take care of yourself.
