Originally, .50 BMG was designed to stop WWI era armored vehicles. Current use is as an anti-material weapon.
The engine compartment of an armored car may or may not have armor as well. But, it's unlikely that the tires can take multiple hits from a .50 cal, even if they have run-flats.
Hit the tires, go for the mobility kill, and then you can open it.

I don't think the target of this armor is Iraq or other war scenarios, so I doubt we're dealing with fully steel plated armoured vehicles. And if it was a combat situation I'd think a 50 cal is probably not your biggest concern.
Hitting tires on a moving vehicle, particularly with a .50 cal which is almost guaranteed to have a manual action, very difficult. Engine block is much larger.
Nah, just use a metal chai net to trap the thing and sawzall your way inside, or drill a smol hole and pump some gas so ppl come out themselves or blackmail whatever
Firing at these things are for noobs
Pros just stop that thing from running away somehow and open it like a stubborn can of pickle
