BMW's M5 Touring is set to wear police markings in Germany, turning the practical estate into an unusually potent law-enforcement vehicle. The model builds on an established police presence for the BMW 5 Series Touring, while adding a far more performance-focused character.
According to Carscoops, the police version represents a substantial step beyond the 5 Series Touring models already used by German forces. The estate body retains the everyday usefulness needed for operational equipment while giving the vehicle a more imposing road presence.
Police cars are generally selected for visibility, reliability and their ability to operate safely across varied road conditions. A high-performance model may also serve a public-engagement or road-safety role, demonstrating the consequences of dangerous driving rather than simply pursuing it.
For drivers travelling between Montenegro and other European countries, the vehicle is a reminder that police fleets can vary sharply by jurisdiction. The practical advice remains unchanged: follow posted limits, adapt to conditions and never assume an unmarked or unusually equipped vehicle is not on duty.
