Not my usual stomping ground, but I traveled down the M3/A303/A36 this week. The 5 series saloon reg: WR56RWX (or Z) stuck out like a saw thumb from miles back with the 'hidden' lights in the kidney grilles.

Today coming back home I saw an unmarked Audi A4 on the A303, I think it was blight blue...ish?

Black poverty spec E60 5 series in Swindon area - Very dirty the 3 times I've seen it: twice in town centre and once on M4 between J16 & 17. No aerials etc to give it away either

I had the rear pop up screen and lights flash at me last Saturday by an unmarked 3-series BMW. Plate started with WX10. I think he just wanted to let me know that I should slow down a bit. He turned off at Jct15 of the M4.

Ah well this is weird. I saw you go past me, and then I saw the 3 series come off the slip road an immediately make his way over towards you! The BMW stuck out like a sore thumb smile

Saw (on Sat) a dark black/brown A4/6 with poverty spec wheels parked up on the Chip junction, the panda was watching the bridge for cars flying underneath.

There are a few A4's on demo from Audi with Wilts. I've seen a grey metallic one around Chippenham and there was a silver one in their compound a few months ago. All start with an O plate. They also had a Seat Exeo estate, but I think that's been marked up since I last saw it.

When the member above says he has seen a 3 series with a folding roof, do they mean a cabriolet? I'd have been surprised if they were using a 2 door car.

This is indeed what I mean, which is why I mentioned it was sneaky; I was joining the M4 and was obv. focusing on the job in hand so the view was brief but it was a fairly small 3-Series and it definitely had the panel gaps in the C-pillars..

Black BMW X5 near on M5 near Bridgwater, seen pulling over a Porsche.

Appears to be the fat wheeled mummy wagon, heavily tinted outside lane barge spec rather than the expected base model.

Just be aware of a couple of silver grey Focus STs (with the RS upgrade fitted) operating around Exeter.

Think ourselves lucky we don't have the same cops I used to see in Germany driving an open top 911 Targa while wearing crash helmets. When asked 'why the open top' the reply was 'so the passenger can stand up and use his machine pistol when we are chasing the criminals'. At least ours don't (normally) shoot......

Drive carefully
