German Police Vehicle Graphics

Would anyone know who makes the german police car graphics?
I would like to know,because I'd like to put some on my 335i, for a week long event that we're having. And as you might have read before, I am responsible for policing where I live,etc..

I am also planning on (temporarly) putting a LED lightbar on top..

I read before that the German police car graphics,are just removable reflective foil. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.

He said he's policing.... But I guess that doesn't mean he IS a cop.

Try the dealership. I know that the dealer can order the police/fire kit for the E46, so maybe the E90 also.

You can order these straight from BMW. Like these one for the german Police on a BMW E91 3 series:

For your info, these are reflective foil (stickers), I don't know if they are removable

If I remember correctly he's asked about this before. He said he was chief/sherriff or whatever for his small town in texas. He posted before about adding an entire police enforcement kit to his E92 335i. Unless that was somebody else

Yeah, that was me, I asked about installing warning lights on the E90.
But this time, Im asking about putting on vehicle graphics. I'm assuming these graphics peel right off, because I'll only be needing them for a one time thing. We're having a festival,and I thought it would be fun to put police graphics on my E90,that will be parked by the Police/fire booth.

It sounds fun, but as a former elected LEO your constituents may get the wrong idea. Even though it is your personal vehicle they may think your office is wasting tax money on purchasing BMW police cars. Just a thought. If you do decide to do it take some pictures though.

Well I can help you out with both.

I have emergency warning lights in my current vehicle that will soon be gone, and will be looking to do an "undercover" project for my new 328 as soon as I get it and take a look to see where I can mount things.

As for graphics, you can get Vinyl, but it'll be costly despite easy to get off only after a day or two. Too expensive for a fun 1 day thing.

What you can do is do up some graphic work on paper and tape up the paper with some 1" vinyl stripes on the top and bottom. That will cut costs, and give a semi professional look.

Regardless, give me a PM to remind me to contact you about some emergency lighting later this month when I take delivery.

That would for sure not be a waste of tax money.

You and I know that but Joe Six Pack would rather see you spend $20K on a Crown Vic. Plus the prisoners don't deserve to ride in E90 style.
