I know that BMW offers 3 and 5 series cars for police use in various parts of the world, but I was wondering if anyone knows of BMW's being used as police cruisers in the US or Canada?
I think it would be cool to see them on the street instead of Ford Crown Vics all the time.

In the movie 'Gone in 60 seconds' the cop drives a 5 series, i think. I don't know about real life though

Yeah, I remember that, but I think it was supposed to be the detective's personal car, or a special unmarked unit. I was thinking more on the lines of marked units with light bars, graphics, cage, push bars, etc.

BMW's corporate site has a special vehicle section for buying police units, and my owner's manual refers to police options, but I guess they don't make it to the US as much if at all. Kinda curious.

California actually bought some Volvo's I believe for Highway Patrol vehicles a few years ago. Never caught on though...

While on a ski trip to Aspen, CO in the early 1990's, I remember seeing Saab Police cars.
I seem to remember that some police agencies can get vehicles that they have confiscated in drug busts. Some of these cars were pretty high-dollar vehicles.
