BMW X5 Security Model

The BMW X5 Security Model is the first BMW off road vehicle that was fitted with armored glass and body plates. This X5 model provides a B4 level protection to the people inside which means you are fairly protected from carjacking or other basic attacks. However, a B4 level protection doesn’t protect you from bullets coming from high powered guns unlike the protection a B6 or B7 can bring. But if you feel you are not in so much danger, a B4 protection level is enough to have a peace of mind. Heavy duty materials are used to secure the car’s body including the windows, windshield and the roof. The X5 Security Model also comes with built-in car alarm system but if you feel this alarm system is not enough, you always have the option to upgrade it to a more sophisticated one.
