The BMW 3 Series Touring Facelift is in full testing phase. The prototypes of the family roam freely in Germany and northern Sweden, and now it has been hunted in some new, and curious spy photos. Because the technicians of the Bavarian brand are adapting the specific configuration for the German Police.
We already know that the German Federal Police is going to request a departure from the revised BMW 3 Series Touring Facelift to the Munich brand. And it is that this time our photographers have managed to find a curious prototype of one of the units of the model but dressed in the colors of the «Bundespolizei».
The Bavarian firm is testing the different versions of the familiar BMW 3 Series, whose debut is not far at all, rather closer than many think. And they are also doing the same with the more specific specifications that the German security forces need in their assistance units. The truth is that it is the only thing that can be seen in these spy photos, along with the sirens on the roof. The rest is perfectly camouflaged, including the front grill hidden behind the metal mesh, the new headlights and even the new light signature.
The German Polizei will have the revised BMW 3 Series Touring LCI
Everything remains hidden, and despite the fact that it has recently been leaked in the new electric sedan that will go on sale in China, that of the BMW i3 L with which it shares the same revised image. The camouflage also dresses the rear area, part of the rear lights that will have the same shape but with a more modern look and a new bumper.
The German police will also benefit from a more technological interior. because the curved screen that occupies the dashboard will be present, and that we have already seen in other prototypes, although the central console will have different systems typical of emergency vehicles. But, in general, the 3 Series Touring will offer the same main technical configuration, as well as the different equipment and security assistants that will come to the model.
BMW will introduce the revised 3 Series Saloon, and 3 Series Touring, at the same time. In a matter of a few weeks, in the middle of next spring and around the month of Mayalthough it will not be until next November when the first units begin to arrive units to dealers. For the first time, the manufacturer faces a mid-life renewal no tinkering with gasoline and diesel engines of the models, with 48 Volt MHEV technologyand all with 8-speed automatic gearbox, and with xDrive all-wheel drive at the customer’s choice.
