BMW’s 5 Series Touring is already a familiar vehicle type in German police service. The M5 Touring version, however, recasts the practical estate car as a markedly more aggressive police vehicle.
The model has been presented in police guise, drawing attention because it combines the established Touring patrol-car format with BMW’s high-performance M5 range. According to a report by Carscoops, the vehicle takes the usual German police BMW estate concept into very different territory.
The contrast is central to its appeal. Standard 5 Series Touring police cars prioritise the space and day-to-day usability expected from a patrol vehicle, while this M5-based example gives the same basic body style a far more imposing presence.
For drivers in Lithuania, the story is chiefly a look at Germany’s police-car culture rather than an indication of a change in local fleet policy. The vehicle nevertheless offers a reminder that, regardless of the car involved, drivers should remain alert and make space safely for emergency services responding on the road.
