Bmw Police Cars
A few weeks ago the police announced that they would no longer be buying BMW cars and had stopped using certain BMW vehicles that had a known fault. Apparently one police officer had died as a result of a faulty BMW.
I don’t recall any information being given in the media as to what the fault was – but this youtube video explains that it is because they catch fire. Quite why the British press/media was unwilling to call out the poor quality of BWM vehicles is a bit strange to me.
The guy in the video also asks a pertinent question as to why our police forces are not buying British cars (or at least ones made in the UK); I doubt very much that the German police were ever driving around in Rovers.

The N57 engine is the latest version of the M57 3.0d/40d/50d straight six.A well proven engine used for well over 20 years.We have had a few over the years in the X5/53OGT models and find they are very powerful and fuel efficient units.The police have a tendency to leave vehicles ticking over for hours to keep the lights going... then red lining them..no modern car will tolerate that.
