And an i5 electric variant is also in the pipeline. Or better said, at least two of them, in the eDrive40 and M60 xDrive configurations, boasting 335 hp and 590 hp respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But why testing a police car? It\u2019s not the decals turning an otherwise silver car into an official authority vehicle. And it\u2019s not (so much) the light bar on the roof. Much more it\u2019s a reinforced chassis and drivetrain as the standard equipment of a police car weighs up to 150 kilograms and therefore eats up a lot of the car\u2019s payload. Also modified compared to the family estate variant are the windows (often equipped with safety films), seats, lightning and signalling equipment, sat nav, radio and much more. So, yes, testing a police car alongside the standard models does make as much sense (if not more) as testing a M5 alongside a four-pot diesel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aes-custom-banner\">\n<!-- START ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com -->\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nvar uri = 'https:\/\/imp.tradedoubler.com\/imp?type(img)g(24613066)a(2263928)' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11);\ndocument.write('<a href=\"https:\/\/clk.tradedoubler.com\/click?p=296276&#038;a=2263928&#038;g=24613066\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"'+uri+'\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" border=\"0\"><\/a>');\n<\/script>\n<!-- END ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com -->\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is rarely so that our spies not only catch a secretly tested new car \u2013 but get a hint at the model\u2019s new customer at the same time.
