My cousin is on the Fairfax County PD, & I’ve seen this particular car at an Open House event. Jim K is right. This is a drug car that was seized by the department, repainted and is now being used as a PR tool. It is the only BMW painted as an FCPD cruiser, and it is not actually used in patrol. You guys are right though, it would be really cool to be able to patrol in one of those.

Tony can you do more research if it is really being used as a Police Vehicle. Why would this happened. I am sure however who ever is driving it is having fun as I am with mine.

The police seized that vehicle, probably from drug dealers, and now use it in demonstrations to school aged kids to show them that crime and drugs don’t pay. Its a show vehicle, it isn’t an actual police cruiser that would stop you on the motorway for speeding.
