Metropolitan Police 'Scorpion' unit responding w/bullhorn

BMW 5 series, 'Scorpion 34' responding in London.

What are 'Scorpion' units?
They're a stand alone unit which fall under the umbrella of the Met Police Roads Transport Policing Command (RTPC) and were formed as part of Operation Venice to tackle moped crime. 'Scorpion' officers are specially trained to make tactical contact with mopeds, regardless if the rider is wearing a helmet, to prevent hazardous chases that poses a threat to the public.

How do you know it's a Scorpion unit?
They are distinguished by a sign placed on the rear window of the car. In this instance this vehicle has a callsign of 'Scorpion 34'.

Imagine if Met went all American and fitted bull bars to these units...

Bit boring because it's a modern 5 series, bit nice and rare as it's a scorpion unit. If I was the met, I'd use an older 5 series as they're less valuable
