Most German Police depts would rather buy several police cars rather than ONE M5 Police car. Most "normal" M5's sell for around ~140K euros. Add in 35% for a police model and it doesn't make sense for small police depts over here. Plus the fuel and insurance and higher service required for a ///M model. Most Polizei cars are diesels over here. Some are quite quick, but most are diesels.
I found a few more pics of that F10 M5 from a few years back a the BMW Welt...

Nice thread, especially given the current change of exterior colour towards the normal German blue instead of the Bavarian green ;-).
I don't think however that police departments decide what car to get and whether an M5 would be "cool". This surely is centrally organized and hopefully with strong focus on efficiency of the tax payers money. I would not be too happy if they get M5s with my payments...
