A tour of the Polizei M5

[squishyone70]

@Superdoc8404 HF radio is for high frequency radio not hands free.

[finalanarky7]

gotta get that rear light cutoff switch on my car!

[JUDEWALTZERBOY]

I WANT THAT CAR

[superdoc8404]

HF is for hands free not high frequency.....horn button cycles through wail yelp and peircer...cool car

[ExhaustedBus]

Reading "The Driver" right now. Just incredible Mr. Roy.

[KommentARSCHreiber]

hello, for what is the gyro stabilizer in the middle near by the frontglas?

For the inside-camera or?

thanks

[kaputsport]

@KommentARSCHreiber The gyro is for the Steiner mil spec binos on the dash.

[KommentARSCHreiber]

@kaputsport

thanks for the info! Ok

[bigd194]

i know what i want for christmas..

[wolfdale00]

OK OK OKOK 

[nastyevilninja]

Great tour!

[Tpena4]

"Like is that really accurate?" No dumbass he installed one that would show the wrong speed at all time. What an idiot. Honestly I would be the most humble person just to have a Q&A with Herr Roy, not some jackass who wants his voice immortalized on video while Alex Roy is talking.

[OCquattro]

Sehr gut

[Rofocowboy84]

Too bad the guy has no idea what he's talking about when it comes to the siren....

Let's see, the different positions aren't the "different countries' sirens", they're just different siren tones (Wail, Yelp, and Piercer). ALSO, HF stands for Hands Free, which allows you to change through the three tones just by tapping the horn ring....

[shooter930414]

the bmw m5 e39 is the coolest bmw in the world!!!!!! And the team polizei m5 is even cooler!

[NewGameReleases]

So how'd you get a Police car? lol

[LOLOMGZZZZZ]

that kid is a faggot

[Elsaypas]

I want two of these!!!!!

[Nemo100]

haha that orange guy is wearing a niedersachsen polizei uniform :D

[68428cobrajet]

I love this car i love this M5 model correct me if i'm wrong but it has a v8 right or just a 6 in it. And i really want to do this with my STI.

[kaputsport]

@68428cobrajet 5.0 liter V8 with 400 hp, kelleners exhaust, Dinan chip, brembo GT brakes, koni shocks with stock springs.

[boostedboogie]

its funny how the guy in the driver seat is annoying alex roy

[bosedall]

this is a bad ass m5

[f40f50enzof60]

lol, how has this thing not been impounded? AWESOME!!!

[kaputsport]

@f40f50enzof60 Nothing in the car is illegal. The radar detector is in a few states and same for the Blinder Laser Jammers, but other than that, it is 100% legal. It is not illegal to impersonate a foreign police force in the USA.

[SpotterGijs]

James Bond eat your heart out!!

[tamales68]

thermal night vision camera?! wtf! thats cool

[hadabenz]

Alex Roy is a cool guy... very well mannered, very strategic and very very spectacular long-distance driver... Sit Back on his M5 @ NYC and you'll wake up in LA and you'll be "wowed"

[zachfreedom11]

does anyone know what type of whelen commander that is

[Fiinniinnii]

T E A M P O L I Z E I

wow innit guys, this car is amazing cool.

i´m really jealous now, really really!

T E A M P O L I Z E I

[dunitlol]

HF doesn't mean high frequency

it means Hands Free :)

love the car tough

[speeder741]

i like the switch that kills all of the back lights

[gentarion]

The guy in the drivere seat is rude, he should be super nice now that he got to sit alex's car! Alex says hf stands for high frequency, isnt it hands free though? Alex is the man!

[surefirefan]

Nope it seems to me the stuff that he pointed to was a ham radio and alex said high frequency which is for ham radio too(its on wiki, I am not good at explaining things).. and I agree with you on the part that he is rude!(driver seat)

[gentarion]

man he cleary pointed at the hf function on the siren (whelen) hf is standard for high frequency worldwide, it allows you to connect and active the siren using the horn ring on your steering wheel or just change toines by pressing the man button -_-

[rpcscarface]

I met Alex last weekend at a race and he let me drive this car it was fucking amazing

[Theriomalstrom]

Who's "A.I."?  What brand of IR camera did he use?

[kaputsport]

@Theriomalstrom A.I. was the shop that performed the work. There is no IR camera in the car. It is a L3 Thermal night vision camera. IR needs infrared light to see, thermal uses heat signature.

[xliver4]

that is a good zombie outbreak car....

[Iacrodgers]

Car must have cost tonnes,

The guy is like "Oh my god" all the time, lol

[overground84]

great!!

[LidarDan15]

That car is awesome.

[Moj0ni]

well the guy in orange wears a german police uniform

[a007map]

he dresses up like a german police officer sometimes... the car has been like RCMP and swedish highway patrol, italian patrol ect...

[Knape2]

@a007map The Swedish highway patrol have NEVER driven BMW! They only drive Volvo and Saab. (And Porsche.....like 40 years ago)

[Gerechtable]

@Moj0ni in face german police uniform is not orange he just sticked these german signs on it but german uniform is yellow (on motorway)

[mIkeyGermita]

What are the specs on the air to ground radio?

and I'm more curious on the binocs,

what model are they?

[kaputsport]

@mIkeyGermita Steiner 7 x 50 low light spotter

[GUIGUI1988]

Is This in Switzerland

[a007map]

Nope, New York City.

[superdoc8404]

The HF on that whelen siren stands for hands free not high frequency. Its a function that alows you to use the stock horn ring switch to activate, cycle through and deactivate the three main tones "Wail, Yelp, and Phaser. I love this car! The rear light cut off is insane.

[CSLGTR]

typical M5 Driver :) like the I-drive hasn't enough :P

[kaputsport]

@CSLGTR This car is a 2000 M5. i-Drive was not introduced until the E60 chassis, and this is an E39.

[michellehernandez3]

sick ass car...bmw is the best.

[VEKKIO]

I love alirey, he has so much sense of humor.

[G1nMast3r]

Anyone Know where i can Find the same Control unit. As said t is a Whelen Commander. I think it is on Whelen's website but not sure thanks

[Mazda6B6]

VERY NICE!

[cb8673]

That's so fucking awesome. Stock M5 = badass. This M5 = Epic and intense win.

[a007map]

ya. Polizei 144 FTW

[07Pyro]

@a007map Way better than the italian police-lamborghini!

///M POWER RULEZ

[xWeaponOfChoicex]

This is awesome, how did you get him to give you a tour?

[a007map]

Hes a nice guy, i just asked.

[tommyturner2008]

You read his book? Very cool guy. Do you know if they are uplaoding any more videos. A dvd would be awesome! :P

[desertf0x805]

yeah alex is a good guy, ive showed him what ive got on my P71, i basically have everything he has except the Infrared camera, im going to try to beat his 32hours 7minute record next month

[cygeus]

I suggest that you do a little bit of research before you try to beat his record. Alex Roy did it in 31 hours 4 minutes, the 32:07 time was from the U.S. Express run on October 15, 1983...

[speedshaq]

I have a question: What is with that binocular on the dash, because it doesn't seems to be ordinary?

[a007map]

The binocular has a gyroscope attached to the bottom. This way it remains stable even though there are vibrations in the car/unstable grip on the binocs.

[tonytanyeaaaa]

gyroscope/diffuser thingy..

[GEER3X]

Hehehe, Alex's favourite toy...

[lemansblueM5]

Polizei Team would you please let me know when you coming to US again? Please

[rx7outlaw]

They live in NY.

Alex is an amazing guy, i spoke to him today on the phone !!!

he offered me to come talk about cars and drink scotch !! hahaha what a guy !!!

i cant wait to meet him !!!

[LordMichiKing]

What is the M5 polizei?

[Aaron8455]

unbelievably cool, great video

[fullbeem]

Awesome video.

[a007map]

thanks.

[LOWriderNL]

this is just awesome. Very rare vid.

[a007map]

Thanks alot. I can email u pics if you want. I am seing 144B (alexs new car) this wensday.

[harycaray]

that would be cool if you could e-mail me the pics... by the way, what is Alex's new car? contact me by clicking on my account name

[boilerpride03]

Nice, it looks like this was after the transcontinental run.

[a007map]

yes, but nobody knew. The car was still in its polizia stradalle stickering (and im assuming it still is)

[Reflexwunder]

Hat er fein gemacht

[Kelspeed1972]

Orly? I thot you we sitting on the trunk (rolls eyes). Don't be so touchy. Not dissing your video, homeslice.

Was merely pointing out another facet of the car to the interested readers. With that said. Good post.

[a007map]

didnt mean to be touchy, thanks for the complement.

[Kelspeed1972]

Well done Herr Roy. I live vicariously thru you. The video neglected to show the 4 laser jammers and their nifty installation.

[a007map]

Yes, it didnt show them because i was INSIDE the car.

[CamelDrifter]

The price of the car is one thing, but the entry fee into the rally events is crippling. Its 28,000 Pounds to enter the Gumball and 17,500 Dollars to enter the Bullrun.

[a007map]

Great american run is only 10,000. Also, there are many smaller runs that you can participate in if you cant afford the large glamour runs.

[DaveLogic]

fantastic video, a great insight into the what goes on in and into the Polizei Interceptor

[a007map]

it is not handsfree. The Whelen Commander has a high frequency traffic clearing horn (it hurts its so loud). Handsfree function changes the horn on the wheel.

[micevo]

Is 'HF' at 2.02ish not 'Handsfree' on the siren, not High Frequency?

[a007map]

He was at the start of the great american run. I was as well.

[robm425]

My head is spinning with all the electronics in this car
