AutoWeek 8/24 Story 3

[BMWROCKET@xxxxxxx]

What would Ponch and Jon think?  "Basically, people don't believe it," a BMW
spokesman said.  "They think, 'This can't be real.'"  Ah, but it is a BMW 540i
with the sport package that's pulling you over.  Or it could be, if the
California Highway Patrol decides it likes the 540i it's evaluating as a
patrol car.  Two M5's have served duty with the South Carolina Highway Patrol,
gifts from the German performance carmaker.  All CHP has to do is convince the
governor that the $ 53,000. 540i is worth two Crown Vics, and BMW will be
prowling the Golden State.  Be afraid, California.  Be very afraid.
