Sophia Wang · 0 comments

BMW Group Australia is continuing its association with Victoria Police by delivering a special BMW M5 Competition to the force.

It has a top speed of 305km/h, the highest capacity of any operation police vehicle in Australia.

“Since co-operating in the deployment of BMW 5 Series patrol vehicles in 2018, BMW Group Australia has enjoyed working closely with Victoria Police,” BMW Group Australia chief executive Vikram Pawah says.

“Now with the incredible BMW M5 Competition entering Victoria Police service, the performance level has jumped up the scale. When combined with the safety of the xDrive four-wheel drive system, the M5’s all-round ability aspects makes it a natural fit for dynamic police duties.”

The BMW M5 Competition produces 460kW from its twin-turbocharged 4.4L V8 engine and is equipped to be fully operation as a highway patrol vehicle.

“Our 530ds have impressed the force with their combination of performance, comfort, dynamics and efficiency. With our condition-based servicing model, these vehicles offer a strong lifecycle value for Victoria Police,” Pawah adds.
