Silver BMW E90 330 undercover police car on M56

3_toed_tree_sloth · 07-04-2008, 02:09 PM

Just a heads up to anyone who uses the M56 Manchester to North Wales.
This pm a silver 330 56 reg with blue flashing light in the front grill pulled up a speeding PUG 206 cc. I have been using this motorway daily for 20 years and never noticed it before. Beware !

Brilliant, now people might get out of my way thinking I'm it - that'll improve my times to Abersoch!!!

Nothing new. Police forces all over the country are using unmarked 3 and 5 series both saloon and tourings. A silver 325i saloon pulled up at my accident at j19 M6 back in March. Didn't want to hang around for long. Waited for the highways agency fake police to turn up and then shot off.

Avon and Somerset have several silver, black and dark blue 5er tourings on the M5 and M4.

Keep an eye out for extra ariels, mirrors, an ANPR camera placed on top of the tailgate and video camera on the dash.

PS they use SE's not M Sports, sorry Anyreg, Rogerxp

Why you say that, Carlos? I know which tuner does all of Yorkshire and Humberside's AND Notts and Derby VAG motors...

In other words, I know that these forces have their VAG motors chipped.

Mind you, someone mentioned a 325i - I bet they don't have those done.

I try to aviod all Bank Holiday weekends and things like Wakestock - it's just bedlum. About 10 years ago I thrived on the carnage, and royally joined in, now I like to take a more sedate trip!!!

Brilliant place though, especially if you get the weather.
