Hmmmmm is it me or was that X5 positioned a little too close to the lorry when stationary, giving them little or no time to react, if the reverse lamps came on? After mentioning about being rammed........just my thoughts........

Warwickshire Police now have an unmarked Nissan GTR, so just be careful if you're on the M40/42 or any of the quicker A roads in the county!

I always see these X5 police cars ... The coppers driving them genuinely think they own the F**CKING Tarmac !! Bullying people out the way ... At least I bought my own BMW unlike sponging it


If I was in there Proffesion I'm sure I wouldn't be complaining either ... Get a brand new X5 , pull over crooks oh and an Unlimited allowance fuel card now that's a job

I know that Nottinghamshire police has had the f30 330d demo car from bmw. The officer in question loves the speed it can get to and how fast! Looked quite nice, I have seen a focus st, Octavia's, Audi a3's alsorta unmarked around here

Im surprised that X5 didn't get damaged anymore than it did, and ive seen a green
330d F30 BMW in Birmingham too.

I think its time I may have to invest in a JB4 lol

Police pursuit drivers are taught to close down a vehicle so it can not gain speed in reverse before hitting you - this is to reduce damage otherwise the vehicle ramming can ride up onto your bonnet ...

I would suggest the X5 wasn't close enough To be fair though a lorry will always win !
