Unmarked BiB Spotted ?

[jonttt]

Brand new 10 plate dark blue 5 series estate (de badged 3 litre diesel non M sport) up and down derby road from Liverpool city centre to Crosby.

I've seen it a couple of times over the past week, hidden blue lights flashing, but dopy me got pulled by it tonight foot down from lights.

copper was OK though and after comparing 5 series cars (I was in my workmobile) offered me visit to magistrates or £60 fine for number plate being mis spaced, not much of a decision really ;-)

I think they are clamping down on Derby road (he said I was the 2nd he'd pulled in 5 mins), followed me to city centre and then turned back to Crosby, so take it easy...........

Personalised number plate for Merseyside Police?

Hi Steve, not sure that's a personalised plate? Just checked out of interest (and to confirm I remembered the plate correctly) on:

http://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/appl...

and it doesn't give the model just that it is a 3 litre diesel BMW.

Naturally I was behaving so he took no notice of me.

Sorry mate, my attempt at being humourous! I should have put a smiley on my post..

I was referring to the ....LAA part.

Nope £60

Looks like they may have bought a job lot of dark blue 5 series estates ?

Something strange going on at Lane Head on Wednesday night, the junction of the A572/A580 East Lancs Rd.

Marked X5 pulled over, no BIB to be seen.
Marked X5 driving around.
Other marked cars.
Unmarked 5-series Tourer, silver (I think), 09 plate with lights in rear window.

Any idea what was going on?

Found out yesterday, some poor soul had commited suicide by hanging in a tree.

[Stefluc]

The X5 and others where nothing to do with the suicide we dont have an 09 tourer it must have either been Cheshire or Merseyside as at Lane Head it borders them both.

Cheers Stephen. Maybe it was a coroners vehicle.

The silver BMW E90 3-series seems to be very active on the M6 at the moment. Registration ending in EXE.

I've spotted it a few times over the last few days, this morning heading south in lane one near Thelwall.

M60 near Oldham, proper doggo boggo black Zafira with the bumper and grille lights, looked more like a Coppice family chariot than a RozzerWagon.
Didnt get a reg as I was goin the other way in the wagon.

Good to know as I use that bit of the M60 every day - thing is I can barely get over the speed limit in my new freelander. lol
