Default Re: BMW 5 series chosen to replace Victoria's Aussie HWP fleet

i was talking to a local police officer about the new 530D's and he said they are impressed by the car but no more than a commodore, falcon or 300 srt, however they are very unimpressed by the repair cost
a light front impact is approx. $15k to fix where as the commodore or falcon got change from $5k
he thinks that due to this the 530d might be short lived and the move to kia stingers could be on the cards in urban areas
