Mercedes offers the S class 'Guard' which is bullet resistant, and BMW offers 5 and 7 series 'Protection' packages which are also bullet resistant. They are both small arms bullet proof, but a well placed high velocity dense metal rifle round should still be able to get through.
Or are you talking about 'bulletproof' as a term to mean they last a long time. Neither are role models for longevity. There is a reason resale value on them drops like a rock the instant you drive them off of the dealer lot, and continues to plummet for the life of the car.

The Mercedes Benz S Guard are bulletproof. They contain run flat tires, completely bullet proof shell, fire extinguishers which extinguish fire automatically. They are also built to with stand any hand held projectile, whether it be a grenade or a small rocket launcher. They have a completely reinforced frame as well as many other features. There is also the S Guard Pullman, which is a limousine version of the S Guard. BMW's have protection packages which can be purchased for the 5 and 7 series. They do not however, have a model which comes standard with a bulletproof feature.

No, not most of them. Mercedes build special cars which are said to be bulletproof (bombproof for some extent) - for politicians etc. These car are not just plated with armour but have other reinforcements as well.
Other manufactures including BMW build specially reinforced cars, but most of them only have a armoured plate on doors, roof, hood and the boot lid, and with run-flat reinforced tyres.

No. The standard vehicles are no more bulletproof than any other vehicle. They do make a line of armoured vehicles, the amount of armour depends on how much you spend. The highest rated ones will withstand a few rounds from an AK-47 at 20 or more metres distance.

Are you that worried that you need a bulletproof car??? Even if you had a bulletproof car, sooner or later, you're going to have to get out of it.

Maybe BB proof. Get real. Rich people pay 100's of thousands of dollars to get their 100's of thousands of dollar car bulletproofed. But nothing is totally bullet proof, there's always something bigger and more powerful.

Nothing is, everything at one time or another requires work and maintenance. Some cars are more reliable then others and some more expensive to fix. It depends a lot on the way you care for and maintain them.
