Perhaps you've heard that our favorite automaker, BMW, is gearing up to release a lineup of new BMW vehicles that are tailored for the German police force. Well, for those who'd like to get a close-up look at a BMW police vehicle without committing crime and serving time, Bert Smith BMW knows of a solution. Head to Munich.

At the BMW Welt Museum at the company's headquarters in Munich, Germany, rests a special BMW M5 all decked out in law enforcement garb. As with most other BMW police car concepts, the crime-fighting M5 is said to host iDrive-controlled warning lights, LED identification lights, a blacked-out grille, and of course, wailing sirens straight from the factory. The auto is also fitted in the traditional "Polizei" livery.

For those unfamiliar with the BMW M5, the high-performance auto boasts a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 with 560 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque as output. This powertrain provides for a top speed of nearly 200 mph as well as a sprint time of zero-to-60 mph in about 4.4 seconds. Yep, Germany highway speeders really don't stand a chance of out-driving this powerful police machine. Or at least they won't if the M5 model makes it to production...

As Bert Smith BMW mentioned before, the BMW M5 police mobile is merely a concept for now but will be followed with a slew of real-life BMW law enforcement autos soon. These vehicles are set to debut at the General Police Equipment Exhibition & Conference in Leipzig quite soon and we at 3800 34th Street North Saint Petersburg, FL 33714 will scoop up all the details.
