BMW 7-Series And i7 Gets Armoured Protection

With the introduction of the BMW 7-Series Security Vehicle in 1978, BMW has more than 40 years of experience producing armoured vehicles. Up to the 2004 release of the BMW X5 Security, two more generations of the 7-Series would go on to be used as security cars. Since then, the 7-Series and X5 have both remained in the company’s lineup of armoured vehicles.

The new BMW 7-Series Protection is the first armoured version of the current generation of the 7-Series. There is also a protection model for the electric BMW i7. The doors, underbody, and roof of each model are strengthened by the addition of an armoured steel body known as the BMW Protection Core.

In order to build a network of 30,000 new EV fast-charging stations, seven major manufacturers have joined forces.

BMW Increases M3 Touring Production Due To Popularity

As predicted, the M3 Touring is in high demand in Europe, and the brand is barely keeping up with deliveries. According to BMW M CEO Frank van Meel, the company even doubled production capacity at its site in Munich to keep up.

The M3 Touring’s popularity has shocked the firm, according to the CEO.

According to reports, BMW M has been considering a lighter and more potent CS version of the M3 Touring because of the high demand for the model. The specific modifications that may be done to this model are unknown, but it stands to reason that it would benefit from a variety of new aerodynamic enhancements and could make use of various M Performance Parts.

The world has adopted SUV's at an alarming rate. And who can blame buyers? SUV's just make a lot of sense. But that also means that big sedans are now being sacrificed as car makers flock to introduce more SUV's, which is a pity because sedans have their own charm as well. The Mazda 6 20th Anniversary model is a gentle reminder of how sedan's used to be. And we think that it might just be a better buy than an E-Class or a 5-Series if you can look past the badge. We explain why in this video. #Mazda #Mazda6 #MazdaMalaysia
