Some videos of it in action:

He still has the Bentley State Limousine's which are apparently both being converted to run on biofuel. His Aston Martin DB6 Mk2 Volante runs on 85% bioethanol and 15% unleaded petrol.

Update: Updated from i7 M70 xDrive to 760i Protection

The security versions are so cool. So many features, the legacy of the 7 protection lives on

Wolfman64 · 10-29-2025, 10:07 AM

Interesting that the windows still go down with that level of armor.

DroMike · 10-29-2025, 10:32 AM

Long live the, uh, current King -- with his new EV, long may he r(ange)!

ewoody · 10-29-2025, 11:02 AM

Are you sure its a I7 70?

The 70 has different Mirror covers…

I think the armored I7 is based on the I7 60…

But I like the car… tanzanite blue with the red line on the side…

As you can see, the King knows what's best

ewoody · 10-29-2025, 01:58 PM

It‘s not an i7!

It‘s a 760!

The car has quad exhaust…

But still a nice car!

Love to see BMW Motorrad and BMW in unison with their police lights and liveries

He has multiple G70s apparently, including an i7.

He should have gotten the chrome parts blacked out. Someone needs to teach the king what’s cool these days.

He certainly had cool figured out in that DB6!

Did you ever see the BMW Motorrad motorcade when Queen Elizabeth II visited Germany a few years ago? A great formation!

Going down is the easy part.

Seems like he always has his window cracked open a bit, regardless of what he is riding.

]King Harald V of Norway has an i7 m60 with hes plate on it, and the royal family has several i7s in their fleet. 😊

King Harald is known for hes love of cars and owned pretty much every 7 series model for hes own use. Some of them ended up in private hands with hes signature in the service book. 😅

Armored 7 series is the best choice for protection and comfort.
