My girlfriend just took the car to the servo for some fuel and was met there by a police officer who walked around the car and eyeballed the bonnet and wheels. When asked if there was something wrong, he just shook his head and walked off.

Now, the car looks and sounds dead stock. What could he have been looking for? Is there something happening around Jindalee tonight that would instigate this inspection? Anyone else had this happen?

The 135i isn't a new model so I doubt he was just checking it out via admiration.

He probably was just admiring the car.
In my jap import days, I would regularly get police checking out my car and there was plenty wrong with it e.g. Wide wheels, carbon bonnet etc.

I remember reading a while back in a Thread or an article that someone got their car stolen during a test drive, I belive its the Titanium Silver not sure if that is related!
