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.

The amount of testicular fortitude to drive an old 7 series while getting shot at is beyond me.

That is so incredibly badass.

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.

Damn. That's so awesome. I would figure that upgrading would make him an even more obvious target though..

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.

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.

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.

It's available on X5's too
