The Traffic Police (TP) are buying a fleet of BMW sedans for highway patrol duties - the first time the German brand will be used since the late 1990s.
A BMW 3-series was spotted at a police facility in full Traffic Police livery. Believed to be a turbodiesel 325d - the first diesel-powered highway patrol car here - it is one of eight cars expected to be on the roads by early next year. The BMW will replace old Subaru WRXes.
