- Here's a lovely tidbit on the newest patrol car in South Carolina...
-
- About six weeks ago, BMW officially announced that a patch of land adjacent
- to Greenville-Spartanburg airport in Upstate SC would be the site of its
- first North American assembly plant. On the day of the announcement, BMW
- donated one of their sedans to the Highway Patrol division of the SC Dept.
- of Highways and Public Transportation. After making sure its use wouldn't
- violate the state's recently-enacted governmental ethics(oxymoron?) law, it
- was decided that the car would be used as a patrol car based in the Upstate.
- One lucky officer, almost certainly a longtime Mustang man, will get the job
- of driving this new patrol sedan about, catching speeders and such. The car
- is the only 5-speed patrol car with leather seats and a power sunroof.
- Oh yeah, it's an M5. So if you're ever in SC, keep a lookout for our fleet
- of Mustang LX 5.0 notchbacks(both fully marked with lighbar and unmarked in a
- rainbow of fruity colors) and one innocuous BMW M5 lurking on and near Inter-
- states.
-
- Do any other states have any cop cars like this?
