We’ve seen our fair share of underwhelming police
cars, but M Town is a different story. Unlike Los Angeles, M Town is all
about performance. As a result, they’ve eschewed the eco-friendly BMW i3 for an
M2 Coupe.
While it’s not the most practical choice, that
doesn’t matter much in a fictional city where detectives tackle hardcore crime
like potholes and gangs building crappy automotive accessories. Speaking of the
latter, fuzzy steering wheel covers and wood bead seat covers can get your
driver’s licence revoked.
Getting back to the car, the M2 Coupe has an
LAPD-inspired black and white livery that looks surprisingly good. The car has
also been equipped with a massive push guard and emergency lights. Even the
telephone number is a special as it’s 1972 which is the year that BMW M was
founded.
While the BMW M2 is no longer in production, it’s
been replaced by the M2 Competition. Priced from US$ 58,900, the model has a
twin-turbo 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that produces 405 hp and 550 Nm of torque. It can be paired to either a six-speed manual
or a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. With the latter option, the M2 can
accelerate from 0-96 km/h in 4.0 seconds and hit a top speed of 280 km/h when equipped with the optional M Driver’s Package.
