Excess is relative. When you have $$billions, $150K extra to have your custom protection vehicle at the venue is no big deal. And, are they even rentable in all locales, and do you trust those suppliers?
- foxtrottbravo 3y agoI am with you - while this might seem excessive there are enough people that have the cash and the threat model to go with it. From what I could find the 2009 Protection version (then called high security) was more around 400k-450k€. A standard model 7 runs from ~115k up to ~145k€.
- toss1 3y agoYes, I must say that I love BMW's approach. Everyone else just takes a frame and hangs off of it all the protection — just a massive increase in redundant weight and decrease in performance. Far better to take BMW's approach, upgrade the materials so that the protection is structural; each component serves both purposes.
