Well it looks like Alex Roy, the lead driver of Team Polizei 144, has postponed his retirement. Remember Team Polizei and their infamous E39 BMW M5 dubbed 144A from the Gumball 3000 Rallies? Recently Team Polizei shipped both of their notorious M5s to London to celebrate the release of the book The Driver… and that’s not all they did.

In fact we were given a sneak peak at the new addition to their lineup. Can you guess what it is? According to GT Spirit it’s another E39 BMW just like the rest, but this one is called the 144R, continuing the tradition of the previous Team Polizei M5s, but this M5 is unlike the previous cars; it is equipped with a roll cage and a track suspension on top of all the other electronic and performance modifications.

It’ll be interesting to see just how much racing is in that “R” and apparently Team Polizei is too. Test laps promised soon, so stay tuned for more info.
