Wow! And who says there's no need for all that additional wheelbase on an iL?

Almost looks as beat up as one of my 5ers, though my back seat is probably in better shape. That Ako's one brave dude, relying on glass that's been already been badly penetrated whilst returning to evacuate more people. How do they protect the radiator on these cars- with a laminated sheets of perforated plate?

It's awesome too that he supported a local museum rather than accept money for the car. Perhaps he's not too happy with BMW for other reasons- the badge on the bonnet has been placed upside down (after painting it camo). Not sure why anyone would only do the bonnet though. Perhaps there are lots of 7ers ending up at the Kirkuk junkyards and he needed a new bonnet for his?

Here some more pics of BMW E32 High Security B6 http://www.alpa-gatt.com/ALPa_GATTConstr/HTMLsE/E32classE.html
look at the thickness of the door glass.

front glass is usually blown off with explosives when they want to leave the car in emergency and doors cannot be opened. The switch for blowing the window out is in the center console, see the many switches there.
Most of the special parts for the 750iLS have ended, but for the front glass in special version one can buy a normal new car.
