Sounds like you’ve had a sour experience with the police.

A lot of factors at play here. The BMW is a factory spec police car, so its not the same as the road going car. Which would effect the price. Plus the fleet pricing however BMW works that. There will be a massive fuel use difference vs the commodore. BMW May do a servicing deal for them too.

At the end of the lease BMW take them back and then do whatever they do with them presumably with an agreed value at play or at a set term or kms.

Therefore it does make sense that these BMWs may cost no more than the commodore over the lifetime of the car as stated. It’s all about the weekly payment, not the out right cost of the car.
