Nice to see an old faithful from police interceptors and a chief inspector now🎉
Nice to see someone who has been on the front line, right in the hot seat being in charge, instead of a clue less bean counter who is only there as it might help his promotion!! Well done Mick, and another great Vid Ben...
they promote anyone thesedays especially lbgt
Jesus he must’ve been promoted rapido 😮😅
I’ve had a shit experience with the police where I live corrupt force Lancaster police I’ve watched the way these officers have dealt with people on tv and I think what a difference in mannorisms actually doing their jobs and not just pushing for promotion and statistics
Mick was always sound and fair on traffic cops, nice to see hes smashed the ranks 😮
great copper
@@joshfrance1428 corrupt copper
hows he corrupt
Wow, Nick's Chief now? I remember watching him as a RCU cop on Traffic Cops and the older Interceptors. Time sure flies
Same here, he's certainly had alot of roles throughout the years!
same here seen both the lads nice to see you two are in great spirits, love the vids and i hope all is well with you both, larger than life lads 🤣🤣
its Mick not Nick 😂
@@hassyg4083 both aint actors that same car was in ingleton before with same fella driving it
@@hassyg4083 im telling you for free that inspector aint a actor they were sat monitoring traffic for bikers before in the exact same reg car
Great to see Mick has progressed his career. Use to watch him and Gary Panther as PC’s on Traffic Cops a good few years ago. Well done Mick
I heard “Chief Inspector Mick Roffe” and thought “well he’s gone up in the world,hasn’t he?” Great to see a couple of veteran officers chatting about a traffic car.
I loved seeing Mick on the old traffic cops! Great to see that he’s still in the police
Out of everything, what i love most is how the blue front calipers match and line up with the blue square on the livery 😍!
Not going to lie. For a second when they opened the boot I though those cones where subs.
Same here!
Same lmao😂
And me!
100%
Excellent video.
Great to see Mick still going and how well he has done.
And the banter between the two of you
Love this, great video and awesome to see Nick is chief inspector now. Would be brilliant to see this again with different cars and different faces from the TV show
The fact the force are integrating with your social media presence is significant and welcome. A worthy Chief, Nick should remain your go to for bringing modern Policing to the channel. The saying "once you ain't blue, no more you" seems to be not true in this case.
A very welcome addition. Well done Ben. 😎
That saying is definitely untrue, once a Cop always a Cop. It’s with you for life.
@@coops1964 uk has had a fair share of serial killer cops
Looks like an awesome piece of kit! Full respect to the police for doing these sorts of videos!
Love the use of the official policeman’s arm-fold and vest grab poses, this bloke remembered his training well.
What a sound guy and a weapon of a car. Top notch video ben!
Mr Pearson this is a fantastic video, and lovely to see the contribution from North Yorkshire Police. Gentlemen thank you both.
Remember how good a driver Mick Roffe was on the old traffic cops programme...not many if any out did Mick in a car chase...Good to see Mick has moved up to Chief Inspector now 👏🏻👏🏻 Well done Ben...Another great video m8...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 P.s still chuckling Ben when u said to Mick "get your stinger out...show us your weapon son"...lol...😂😂😂😂
I remember watching Mick as a cop, now he’s a chief inspector, fair play Mick 👍
Really enjoyed this format of video, always good to try new formats (out and about)
Absolutely brilliant ben what a great review and what a great car ...thanks for sharing 😊
Absolutely class vid Ben. Nick is sound. Used to watch him on old traffic cops. Keep it up benny boy
Awesome video guys, thanks for the information and it great to get a look behind the new M135i cars that NYP has!
Great video both and really interesting to understand more behind the scenes.
Well done Mick on advancing in your Career. Lovely to see you.
Excellent presentation, and how all the kit is shoehorned into that boot 😮 Well done guys and your promotion to TCI Mick, now we can see why you got promoted 😂😂 Iain
Great video Ben, hope to see more like this x
Great video Ben and a great car! Mick’s done really well for himself since the old Traffic Cop days, good to see. These types of video are really interesting, keep them coming 👍
Omg, this is next level content Ben, absolutely brilliant……and how the heck is Mick Roffe a CI that quick! Miss you both on the TV.👍
Would love to see more videos like this- amazing
Great video Ben, more like this please
I was a member of a golf club in the late 90s early 2000s. We had many police officers as members. The normal officers had little to do with the traffic cops. “They’d book their owns mothers!” I hope things have changed.
jealousy
Keep up the great work ben!
More videos like this would be epic, fair play, enjoying the content.
Ben, why are you such a LEGEND?
This is Ben Pearson & Mick Roffe, legends of the Interceptors & Traffic Cops finiest drivers
Mick Roffe, one of my favourites, no idea which TV show his RPU was on mind you! Great to see he's a Chief Inspector these days
Awesome video. Would love to see videos on the rest of the fleet.
Great vid hopefully more car reviews to follow 👍
Thanks for the review Ben and also nice to see a fellow traffic cops star.
I'm starting my new honest car review channel, which also reviews for disabled people.
Who else saw the cones in the boot at first and think why do they have a banging sound system? 😂
Bought one of these recently, obviously in a different colour! 😉 Such a great car to drive.
Great vid Ben
That graphics package is badass. The black grid around the blue & yellow reminds me of a comic book pannels. We don't have anything like that here.
Fantastic video!!!
Decent bit of kit. Drove through Yorkshire yesterday plenty of signs up encouraging motorists to slow down. Beautiful part of the world but the bottom line is enjoy it but get home safe. 90mph down the dales is straight up madness
Laughed at 6:38 when they opened the boot and I thought for half a sec there were a couple of red 12" subs in there 😂
Great video thanks gents 😊
Still doing a brilliant job Ben👌
best video yet Ben
Good to see you again Mr Roffe. I remember you pulling me on my bike, and you being a very young arrogant young man with little knowledge on sections 163,164 and 165. (I won that case by the way), but I would like to congratulate you on becoming Chief Inspector. I do hope that arrogance has gone. Take care.
Maybe the arrogance has been passed on to someone else, just saying?
I remember Mick Roffe from series he's done well for himself 😁😁
Production Values on this 👌
Ben have North Yorkshire traffic got the BMW 135i on the fleet due to BMW no longer providing any of the 3.0diesels in the 330 530 & X5 to UK police forces due to oil starvation problems is it all cars with the N54 diesel engine. West Yorkshire have still got 330d"s , while walking my dog at 4ish I've seen 1 today. In Wakefield recently I've seen Leon Cupra estate traffic car unmarked. Noticed the 135i had YJ all west Yorkshire cars start YJ in the registration plate. Ben watching the video you make your ex colleague look small either that or your huge , as usual great video .
love content like this
Micks now a Chief Inspector, his face hair is impressive, would look well as licensee of "Woolpack".... nice to see him doing well
Congrats Mick on the Promotion Chief Inspector
Epic place the motorist .. go there often I’ve hosted the Audi TT meets there June 22 June 23 and it’s already booked June 24.. 😬😎
A couple of questions: 1 How many takes to get that stack of cones out of the boot in one go without them getting stuck lol :) and 2: The stinger. Do you ever get loose "stings" that have been pulled from the main body but come out of the tyre scattered around the area especially after a tyre has shredded after some plonker carried on trying to drive?
Excellent vid Ben, good to see Mick again after all those years.
I'm sure my 520 would lose that 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good vid. When Mick opened the boot at first for a joke he had put a couple bass boxes in there!
The boot... I seriously thought you had 2x12" Vibe speakers you've nabbed from Halfords, with some DIY custom amp setup... but they were just cones.
Same here had a good chuckle to myself. Could imagine Ben doing a shitbag joke like that.
Totally!!! "Car's a bit chavvy, and surprise surprise, it's blasting out dnb from your shitbag's ram-raided acquisitions" I just love how honest and candid Ben is on his youtube.@@ozaricblox2016
Lovin' those "piggin" shorts.... Love Ben, SORRY for the "pun" !
Damn that thing looks good in the police livery!
Ahhhh yes the old concrete cones that can deflect cars! 😂😂
Jokes aside, brilliant video! Really really informative, and a great watch! :)
Chief inspector! Great to see.
It goes really well in bends my god that’s really technical
Awesome guys
He can't say if it modded, hmmm, wonder if they fit a 4 inch decat, uprated intercooler, air intake, higher capacity fuel pumps and then a cheeky hybrid turbo.
Just a small correction on the M135ixd spec…….the engine has 450nm not 400nm😉
Had a 135 for 2.5 yrs, competent little car but it's front wheel drive until it looses grip when the rears come in so it doesn't drive like a RWD biased X-drive 3 or 4 series for instance like the 335D X-drive I had previously. As a result it does torque steer quite badly under acceleration which makes it a little less engaging to drive I guess. Benefits from selecting the active damper option from factory as well in terms of cornering as most BMW's do. Biggest gripe for me, as with most BMW's, is the throttle mapping in the different driving modes; be great to make it more linear across the modes and leave economy / performance to the gearbox - otherwise if you use the different modes you have to "learn" the throttle map under your foot. That and the steering wheel is way too chunky 😉
Well deserved promotion Chief Inspector Mick Roffe.
Cracking vid.
thing looks mean as hell, absolutely belting.
At first, I thought the cones in the back were speakers 😂
Those look awesome in police livery. 👍
A few years ago now but had the pleasure of sitting in a North Yorkshire Subaru Impreza STI traffic car......fair enough it was at the end of the Skipton bypass in the passenger seat getting a bit of a telling off.😬😬
I thought when he opened the boot there were 2 bass subs 😂
Love to see an older Vectra C traffic car and this motor head to head on a simulated response on a track, I bet the 135 would run rings around the old Vectras.
I’d like to see it against Lancs old River Sterling 827s myself!
what about Scoobies and evos Yorkshire police forces had
I see they've swapped the OEM Bridgestones for Goodyears. I'm on my second one of these and its the first 'mod' any new owner should do.
Thought that was a sound system in the boot at first 😂
Police car with double bass setup, sweet. Car does look great compared to our old 80s astra.
Would be interesting getting a traffic officers aspects on what cars are the main ones criminals used that gave them a run for their money
Going by what Ben has said about this in the past, I'd say Audi RS3's.
@johnmitchell2269 I'd not caught that one. I'd have thought most would have been the M3 or similar BMW card, we all know how their drivers can be
He’s had a few promotions since TC! 👍🏻
Welcome too CopGear
Have you done the same video with the M340i?
Brilliant video, but also I will tell you.. police have some type of performance map tuned into the software as I used to build police vehicles, they’re never standard, usually todays figures would be classed as stage 2!
I remember him from the old police interceptors 💪
450nm stock (limited to 400nm in 1st unless using launch control). I used to have one and they go even better on a stage one from Celtic Tuning and a Remus exhaust plus a set of Eibach springs from Motech 👍
Theyll not get a stage 1 on it unless the Femto unlock the ECU first. 72 plate this one, the earlier pre July 21 models were open for it. Gearboxes are starting to show issues on the ones who have gone over 450-480nm now though, gearboxes are cheese on these.
@CarlDonaldson1 yep, no zf here but I did like the thump of manual shifts
i remember speaking to nick at cops and cars when he pulled out a sausage from the boot of a police car
Brilliant 💙💙
Here to educate? I live in North Yorkshire and we have mobile speed vans. These are usually parked in stealth mode and not in accident black spots. A good cash generater for NYP.
Hi Ben, What happens if your tires are run flat tires your stinger would be useless RIGHT?
Some forces have x-net that overcome run flats.
Do BMW produce the Police enhancements or does a third party create the modifications ?
Roffe went through the ranks fast 😳
Holy hell, he shot up the ranks...
How do they get the correct speed with digital speedos? All gps now?
That livery looks noice
That's a cool livery
Top gear test track with the stig? Also ," get your weapon out" 😂
Congratulations to Mick, the boy dun gud 👍
Ben should come to Lancashire Police and try out their new cars! 😉
Peugeot 308's?? 🤣🤣
@@SFlightlinethey must be better than the old Maestros though?
Skoda VRS’s 😝
It's good to see the police see the value in you and your presence on UA-cam as a way to reach out and educate through your channel
