Dashcam catches Queensland cop losing his cool
Queensland Police is investigating after an incident which saw one of its officers lose his cool after a motorist disobeyed an instruction to pull over on a Sunshine Coast road. The clip, posted on the 9 News Queensland Instagram account, shows the officer – complete in high-visibility gear and a helmet – walking from the side of the road where his police motorcycle was parked. It's believed speed checks were being carried out in a school zone, with the officer seemingly catching a vehicle exceeding the speed limit. In doing so, the policeman then instructs the driver of a black BMW 5 Series to pull to the kerb, walking into the centre of the road to block the car's path, gesturing towards the side of the road. Yet the black BMW does not stop. 100s of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Instead, the driver swerves around the officer and carries on, blatantly – and illegally – disobeying the command. While this may seem interesting enough, the officer doesn't take the disregard for his authority lying down: he instead makes his dissatisfaction known by aggressively lobbing his police radio at the car. The radio hits the side window of the BMW bouncing back towards the officer violently before landing on the road. It's not known why the motorist refused to pull over, with the assumption they had been caught speeding and saw the move to avoid a speeding infringement. Yet the vehicle's registration was recorded – in the clip posted to social media at least – making the owner responsible for disobeying the move. There's no indication that the vehicle was stolen. School zones in Queensland are typically 40km/h in areas where the regular speed limit is 50, 60 or 70km/h. Speeding in school zones attracts double points across the state, with a minimum fine of $174 for travelling up to 10km/h over the posted limit resulting in two demerit points.

Even current BMW models will get brand's bold new face, 5 Series spy pics show
The BMW 5 Series is getting a facelift, and unlike most facelifts this one will dramatically change the front-end appearance of the large German luxury sedan and wagon. As can be clearly seen in these spy photos, even under camouflage, the updated 5 Series is getting similar front-end styling to the Neue Klasse concept that previewed the upcoming electric i3. This brings a sharper face with a double-kidney grille that's shorter but wider, and headlights that are brought closer in line with the grille. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. It's not just changes up front, with the rear-end appearing to feature not only a new bumper but also new tail-lights. However, the ones on this prototype appear to be prototype units. According to Bimmerpost forum user ynguldyn, who claims to compile product information from leaks within BMW, the 5 Series facelift ('Life Cycle Impulse' in BMW parlance) will enter production in March 2027, taking the sedan out to June 2030. The 5 Series Touring wagon and the hot M5 will reportedly receive the same changes inside and out, and continue in production until February 2031. The update will reportedly bring not only revised exterior styling but also BMW's Panoramic iDrive interface. According to BMW, Panoramic iDrive incorporates four main elements: a pillar-to-pillar screen at the base of the windscreen, an available 3D head-up display, a central display screen, and a multifunction steering wheel with haptic controls. While other brands like Lincoln and Cadillac offer a similar array of screens in some of their vehicles, BMW's Panoramic iDrive system differs in keeping the pillar-to-pillar screen fairly slim, likely minimising distraction. The 5 Series will also reportedly get the option of a passenger screen, which we expect will have a privacy screen to prevent the driver from being able to see it. BMW won't roll out the exact same front-end styling across all its models. For example, the next-generation X7 was recently spied with a more upright front-end resembling that of the current 7 Series. The next-generation iX3, previewed by the Vision Neue Klasse X concept, features a similar shape to its front-end as the facelifted 5 Series and upcoming i3, but it wears a taller, skinnier double-kidney grille. BMW is continuing with its strategy of making its combustion-powered and electric vehicles (EVs) look largely the same, even as it rolls out a new dedicated EV platform called Neue Klasse. "The big push with EVs, these technologies and this design language, will transfer over the entire product portfolio including our combustion vehicles," BMW Group design director Adrian van Hooydonk told Top Gear. "For the customer it won't be difficult – they will all get new modern BMWs and they can choose the drivetrain. "There is some proportional difference on the exterior and a little on the interior [between combustion and electric BMWs] but the look and feel and user interface is going to be identical. It's a big change how you operate the vehicles."
