I don't see what it got stuck on? Did it ground out because it's just too long?

At least we know that it would have survived a roadside bomb. But it can't exit a car park without getting stuck on a bit of concrete.

Screw that crappy limo. Is the 7 series alright? What sort of an idiot designs an exit like that. But surely it should have been obvious when the BMW barely made it over that the limo kinda wouldn't.

The front wheels seem to retract into the wheel arches; which is odd....

The car park exit angle is too steep and the pavement camber too low at the other side,the clang sounded like the underfloor armour plating being hit, while the "graunching" sound could be broken prop shaft or broken transmission or both,the sheer weight of that vehicle would do catastrophic damage either way. Obviously some secret service personnel did not do the reccy properly at that location.

What's up with the tiny wheels? Are they standard or what?
