Speeding Convoys

A friend and I took my car for a drive and went onto the high way via the bayers turn off.. Tried to get into the fast lane and a marked police 335 flies past! then an x5 a 740 and another marked 335 came flying by.. tried to catch them to see what speed they were doing and they were still running away at 160!
Tried to stay clear of them but we took the same turn off so i rolled down the window and shouted a few words
They nearly pushed about 3 cars off from the fast lane.. The 3's looked so good and the 7 and the X5 were battling to keep up!
wat kind of modifications has been done to mr.van der swarts n54's. cause i know most of those convoy cars are modded

I'd imagine they have to be to keep constant speeds like that.

i know dude... i was at 160 but had to slow down because of traffic.. but at 160 they were still running away quite furiously! i just thought it was really cool with the 335's :P

heard from a friend that a few weeks ago they shot at a bakkie's tyre? and there are so many stories about them shoving cars out the way.... I dunno about you guys but i get nervous around them

BMW SA have just developed a car for the SAPS, 1st samples being 335-based. The cars don't have any performance mods (wouldn't be allowed because of warranty issues), but do have M-Sport spec (18 inch wheels, sports suspension, etc) as standard. The cars are heavily kitted out with hi-tech gadgetry (7 cameras, licence plate recognition systems, tracking system, video recording, tablet PC etc, and have a dual battery setup to handle the additional electrical load. The extra mass of the kit, plus a light bar and a pair of robust Law Enforcers would only serve to slow the car down a bit, but the 335i is more than up to the challenge. It would have to be something pretty darn quick which would try and outrun one of these babies...

Unfortunately I can't tell you anything about the pop-up machine guns, flame flowers or electro-magnetic pulse devices, or I'd have to kill you all, and there are a lot of readers on this Forum
