If you need bulletproof glass then the additional weight is the least of your worries.

Wouldn't the shop doing your bullet proof X5 have a clue as to how
much sq ft worth of windows you have...

I still think the walk out to your car with a tape measure is a reasonable
suggestion.

Maybe a new line of work?

would you need ballistic panels in the doors too? i don't think car doors are bullet proof like in the movies.

I see some power window regulator failures in your future.

Don't forget the suspension. And the brakes. It's a good thing the OP has the 4.8i though, at least the motor can cope.
