    BMW will soon be adding another model to its armored ‘Security’ division with the sighting of this 2009 7-Series prototype in Germany suggesting that development of an armored version of the latest saloon is well underway. The latest model comes just months after the reveal of the existing 5-Series and X5 Security models. Clear giveaways that this is in fact an armored model are the wide fail-safe tires and ministerial flag holders on the front fenders.
