Yeah, for some reason all capital letters from my post disappear and so the url of the picture (nor the smiley) doesn't work.

Yes but aren't there any changes done to the interior?

Nope. The police only hook up their equipment to the cigarette lighting machine I believe. The car is basically bought by the police in civilian form and just receives some police decals and a siren. Stuff that can easily be removed.

Trust me. I saw a documentary on this a long time ago. The police orders their cars from BMW, Mercedes, Audi etc. and the manufacturer will apply the police decals on the ordered cars which were delivered to them by the supplier.

That 3er police car in your photo was prepared by BMW and is now being transported to its destination.
