B C Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/07/middleeast/bulletproof-bmw-isis-snipers/index.html Cliffs: Armored $10,000 7-series purchased by man in the war-torn middle East. After his city was attacked by ISIS, he transported people to safety through the city facing 50+ hits from ISIS snipers. BMW offered to give him a brand new BMW in exchange for this E32 that they wanted to put on display at BMW headquarters. According to CNN He declined and wants to keep driving the E32. According to Jalopnik he is donating it to a local museum True hero of a man! A real saint Then how cool it is to see an old BMW (albeit modified) not just holding up to the test of time, but some extreme use as well. suspenceful and Bassboy3313 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 The amount of testicular fortitude to drive an old 7 series while getting shot at is beyond me. suspenceful and wasnt m3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungCR Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Totally respect him turning down the offer but it would've been crazy to see a brand new 7 series in a war zone. BMW protection packages are the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdesign Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Damn. That's so awesome. I would figure that upgrading would make him an even more obvious target though.. YoungCR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 You'll see some of the e39's for sale un the U.S. once in awhile and it's always tempting to buy one just to have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Pat, you mean e38, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 1 hour ago, wasnt m3 said: Pat, you mean e38, right? Nope. e39. I've seen some protection 540i's come up for sale over the years. I don't think I have ever seen an e38 protection for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Strange. I've had a number of e38 protection package cars come through work but never an e39. I guess I just didn't image a non executive type of car with that package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
