Hello, hello, hello - what's all this then? 👮
The most important thing about an undercover police car is, you would think, the ability to go undetected. Which is why this week’s Pill, a spectacularly leggy ex-plod BMW 530d xDrive, has been causing some chin scratching in the office. As what has to be pretty much the only unoptioned G30 generation 530d SE in the country it is surely going to stand out like a bratwurst in a martini anywhere it goes.
Or maybe this is just how all police-spec 530ds are delivered, regardless of whether they are going to end up wearing Battenberg, with dinky 17-inch alloys rattling about in the arches and the cloth seats that have surely never been fitted to any civilian G30 sold in the UK. This is the first former police car to make Brave Pill, but it definitely qualifies on both risk and reward. The former comes from a life that has doubtless involved plenty of thrashing by lead-footed flat-foots, and likely a fair number of kerbs and speedbumps taken at speed.
Which is a strong possibility given the chequered history that N57-powered BMWs have had in police service. There have been many well-documented car fires in models equipped with the engine, and earlier this year several forces decided to restrict N57-engined vehicles to light duties to avoid the risk of thermal incidents.
