Can I get bulletproof x5 windows?

Ok, it may sound silly to people who read it but does anyone know if just bulletproof windows are available for the x5? There are e70 x5 security versions with bulletproof windows and paneling but I am looking for just the windows
Any real help would be appreciated

Interested to know why, what you want to stop. Bullet proof windows made by laminating layers of glass together. The bigger to calibre you want to stop the thicker the window ends up being. Bullet proof glass is over an inch thick, very heavy, doors need to be reinforced to stay square, hinges, etc. There are options but if they want to shoot you the door won't stop a bullet at close range without some steel plate or Kevlar etc

They do make lightweight Kevlar paneling that can somewhat easily be retrofitted to the door panels. I'm not looking to drive through a gunfight, I just need added protection while getting out of dodge quickly.

If you want bullet-proof windows that roll down, it will require a whole lot more than just glass & motors.

I just happened to see a fully armored (level 3 protection, I think was what it was called) 100% stock looking X5M. It was built for one of the cartel bosses in Mexico. It was bulletproof and bomb resistant up to some blast or whatever. It looked totally stock from the outside, but when the doors were open u could see all the armor and reinforcements, the windows looked to be a few inches thick. It was SICK!!! So yea there is/are.

I'm not positive about the back or passenger but I do remember seeing that the driver window does roll down to pay tolls ect so I'm sure the rest could as well if u ordered it that way.
