Yeah, not going to happen. I'd bet they'd choose the Caprice or the Interceptor over a BMW diesel. The performance might be good, nice long gearing for high speed chases and good FE on the street. But if they get an Automatic to handle that much torque I'd be surprise. They'd have to but a heavy duty truck transmission behind that thing. Because lets face it, the Police don't drive manual tranny cars. The durability is supposed to be 250k miles, a Diesel could do that but not very many trannies especially Autos last that long with that much torque. Because you know, what will happen is the first time an office stomps the gas pedal telling that BMW Diesel to "giddy'up" in the vehicle's life is the first time the transmission blows.
I put my money on the Interceptor with Ecoboost. At least it could be cheaper than a BMW powerplant.
