Fred Beck autocrossing in his BMW 2002, chased by a police cruiser with lights and siren. He has to slow down every so often to let the cop catch up.

Gotta give that big crown vic some props, for a car that weighs almost 4000 pounds, it kept up pretty good with that little flyweigh beemer.

Well, the 2002 slows down at least once to let the cop catch up. The course loops back on itself, and the cop was falling back enough that there could have been a collision if the 2002 didn't slow like he did.

Props to the 2002 driver for having the presence of mind to realize that while negotiation the course.

ya, just one question. How can it be a 2002 bmw when the video says its in 1999? next time make sure you get your shit straight

[dalesd]

2002 is the model, not the year. IIRC this is a '73. Now who needs to get their shit straight?

Awesome vid, I got a real good laugh out of it.

As for some of you posters, chill out! Who cares what's a better car? It's not a dick measuring contest, and nobody cares about your personal opinions or preferences. I'm sure the person who posted this video intended for it to be enjoyed, not for it to turn into a child like argument! Grow up, especially rik747.

I've had my 1976 2002 since 1976 and wouldn't drive anything else. But I do keep my fingers crossed that some bone head in a 4,000 pound SUV doesn't slam it on our idiot, crazy driver freeways here in southern California. I saw one that got sandwiched between two semi trailers on the freeway. Fortunately, the girl driving it made it through alive.

I'm glad to see it made its way onto YouTube.

Hey! I actually took that video! It was a PITA converting tape to digital.

Glad to see it made its way onto YouTube.
