BMW M5 Polizei from the E60 generation as the model
The prototype for this miniature vehicle is the BMW M5 (E60), the high-performance version of the fifth BMW 5 Series generation, the E60. The series was built from 2003 onward; the specially developed BMW M5 (E60) hit the market in 2005 and stayed in the lineup until 2010. Its predecessor was the BMW M5 (E39), which was produced from 1998 to 2003 and still used a V8 engine. With the BMW M5 (E60), BMW M went for the S85, a 5.0-liter V10 naturally aspirated engine. It produced 373 kW, or 507 hp, delivered 520 Nm of torque, and revved up to 8,250 rpm. The 0 to 100 km/h sprint was quoted at 4.7 seconds; top speed was electronically limited to 250 km/h (155.3 mph). That meant the BMW M5 (E60) combined a four-door sedan body with M division drivetrain tech.
Tech and body details of the BMW M5 E60
The technical setup of the BMW M5 (E60) included rear-wheel drive, an automated seven-speed SMG III sequential manual gearbox, and a locking rear differential. Power could be shifted using paddles on the steering wheel or the selector lever. On top of that, the BMW M5 (E60) came with adaptive damping control, M-specific Servotronic steering, and the adjustable M Drive function. A button on the steering wheel let you save settings for engine response, stability control, and suspension programs. Outside, the BMW M5 (E60) stood apart from the regular 5 Series with wider fenders, redesigned bumpers, air vents behind the front wheel arches, four exhaust tips, and specific alloy wheels. The kidney grille, narrow headlights, and sharply shaped front end visible in the photos follow the design language of this generation. For a real police fleet, a V10 M5 would have been unusual, so the police livery here is mainly a themed model variant.
Matchbox BMW M5 Polizei in 1/64 scale
The vehicle shown from Modelly member “Eisbaer44” is a model car in 1/64 scale, made by Matchbox. On the side skirts, you can see the markings “MBX Germany” and “MBX G,” which point to the Matchbox design and the German police version. The diecast model car in 1/64 scale from Matchbox is made from die-cast metal: the body is cast metal, while the glazing, wheels, light bar, and other details are made of plastic. The proportions capture a four-door sports sedan with a short front end, a pronounced roofline, and a low rear section. You can make out separate window openings, a dark interior, and black steering wheel and seat details. The wheels are styled as black five-spoke rims with silver-edged wheel lips, which fits the sporty M5 look.
Silver-and-blue police livery and visible details
The body has a silver metallic base finish. Over that sits a wide blue band on both sides that runs from the rear fender across the doors and toward the front fender. On the front doors, “POLIZEI” appears in white capital letters; at the front there’s also a small license-plate area with the same text. Above and below the blue stripe, there are silver, broken lines that look like reflective contour markings from a police livery. The roof stays silver and has a dark-tinted transparent light bar mounted in the center. Up front, you can spot the BMW kidney grille, headlight inserts, air intakes, and the round BMW badge, while the rear shows molded taillights and bumper shapes. Based on the photos, what makes this model stand out is the clean contrast between silver, blue, and black wheel details, plus the easy-to-read E60 body lines. For collectors of Matchbox police vehicles, BMW miniatures, and German police-themed variants, this version offers some really nice and recognizable details.
