 End of Police BMWs? - Bobby
It’s claimed that it is the unique way that the police use them and this particular 3.0 diesel engine.
Some reports say it is the potential full speed/ stopping/ full speed that does it. Others suggest it is full speed/ idling (whilst they deal with the resultant incident - but you were always told to idle to let turbos cool down weren’t you)

I know in Scotland at one point the instruction was simply that they had not to be used for pursuits at all.

Strange that they are drilling holes in the engine before selling. Is this to stop legal comeback on them and how would that work? Sold as seen through an auction not count? But as per previous posts, it now creates a demand for 3.0 diesel BMW engines to replace these ones. Would imagine there will be a lot of stolen to order.
