BMW 5 Series for Shanghai Police
 

March 30, Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau Traffic Police Department was equipped with “BMW 5 Series” police cars. 22 BMW's all had lights and sirens installed and police symbols painted on them. These vehicles will be operated by the Shanghai local police in full service during and after the 2010 World Expo.

don't think they are the imported models, probably all are domestics.

the badge looks like it says "550Li"
they make long wheel base 5ers?
and ifs actually a 550 i dont think its domestic.

cool, kind of wtf? but cool

yeah I think they have 550Li for China and some other Asian countries. Saw some in China before.

maybe they are replicas! haha...

wow they need the long wheelbase to carry fugitives I see! LOL

they must be fake

check out this link:http://www.oddee.com/item_86044.aspx

makes me want to get a chintendo Vii :haha:

the cars are not fake. There is 550Li in china. Its not import car. It still cost around $100G canadian.. balling cops..

It's made by the BMW Plant in China. BALLING

i know majority of manufactures have plants in china that makes cars for domestic markets, but im not sure if higher end models r made there. a 550 is definitly not entry level... if it was a 528 or a 535 then it's possible, but a 550??

Entire range of new 5 LWBs will be made in china.

^ wow thats shitty, thanks for the link.

Everyone in China seems to like long wheelbase cars for some reason. Kind of ironic when Chinamen are shorter than Germans. :D Another really popular one is the Audi A6L. Dime a dozen EVERYWHERE (especially Beijing), and always in black for some reason.

Those are some nice blingy cop cars, but the dumb thing is that they'll look outdated in only a year when the F10 comes out.

Not ironic
 

Most owners of 5 series in China have drivers which is why they want the extra space in the back.

530 Li

hmm.. getting bmws right before model change... big discount..???

Russkies do it bigger;

BMW just released a Long wheel base for the new 5 series today.

In soviet russia, you Pull the cops over.

Vancouver should of done this with the olympic cars. Fuck chevys LOL

Are you willing to pay for them? I surely don't :rolleyes:

lmao you're such a fucking hater. what's so shitty about a long wheelbase 5 series that does everything a normal 5 does and more?

dude get ur facts straight, im not hating on the 5series or the long wheel base itself.

A6L is the standard car of choice in beijing because many officials/execs ride in them, and other ballers try to mimic.

funny though, audi is the government car of choice in china.
