Ok, it's not a Police car!!! It belongs to the Portuguese fire service, they still use it to this day. It was a mint 535i, when I took pics of it the guys in the fire station ushered us in the fire station and showed us round, very cool
Wow, never would have thought that! Until I saw this I was absolutely sure that Soviet militia didn't use foreign cars, not in the 80's anyway. The numberplate on that one is the old type which was changed early 80's IIRC.
In those days ANY foreign car on the streets of SU was quite a rare sight.
ill get my camera out next time i visit the MET's yard in Park Royal evertime ive recovered a cop car there are loads of stacked one's plenty of stacked 5 series, millions of astra's, fair few vans aswell some are pretty bad tbh
last thing i recovered was an undercover Merc that had a smack with a transit
Those Dubai cops are very scary. I visited there a couple of years ago and they all drove E39s with massive bullbars in front and they're definitely not afraid to use them!!! They all have guns as well.
Incidently, every single car in the UAE is petrol, even the jeeps. Only buses and trucks use diesel. Its hard to get diesel, and when I was there, petrol was approx €0.30/litre...

If your company is on the Police recovery scheme, I'd be careful about posting the pics on a public forum.
