Bombproof car 'too heavy' for roads

26 November 2003: A bomb-proof BMW supplied to Norway's prime minister last month can’t be used because it is too heavy, according to Norway's state road authority.

The four ton car is twice as heavy as a standard BMW 760 iL model and 40 kg over the limit for registration by Norway's road authorities.

Some safety features will have to be taken out to make the car light enough for registration.
