DAMN!
It's a 750iL with no sunroof, probably a factory "protection" version.

Doesn't have airbags, either; I think they weren't mandatory for that region? Either way, that story made my day!!!
That is awesome!
It crashed into something considering before it has kidneys from an M30 car.
ISIS dug up an E38 750iL in the middle of the desert, I think there's still pictures of that.

Yeah, you're right... I know it looked a little bucktoothed, but the Andy Gump bumperless chin distracts from that quite a bit... And I assume the video is before the camo makeup?
Note that the vehicle shot at is indeed a High Security B6 and not the iLS. The average ISIS fighter in Iraq was running around with whatever 7.62x39 AK pattern rifle he could find, with an occasional M16, PKM or SVD here and there.
The E32 was probably designed to take DM111 rounds fired out of a G3 (hence the "B6" -> up to 7.62x51 FMJ\7.62x54R protection level) which was the standard issue for the Germans until the late 90's.

According to the video, it was armored directly by BMW. Was the 750iP designation used back then? Pretty sure it's an i, not iL.
The factory S = security = protection version was only available as iL in long wheel base version with the M70 engine, 750iLS http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sele...e=1&series=E32
Shogun tricks and tips for the E32 series are HERE!
Better photos show it clearly as an iL; the video was fuzzy.
