81 new BMW X3s to modernise the Grand Ducal police fleet

The Grand Ducal Police will receive 81 new BMW vehicles this year as part of an ongoing effort to modernise its fleet, according to a statement from dealership Bilia Luxembourg.

The company said it had secured several lots under a framework agreement covering 2025 and 2026.

The delivery includes 56 BMW X3 models, which will be used for patrol duties. The vehicles will be equipped and adapted for operational use, including integration of lighting systems, onboard communication tools and other modifications required for law enforcement work.

“To ensure that each BMW is adapted to the requirements of law enforcement work, the new cars were prepared and equipped by the ConnectCom workshop, a member of the German UPLINK group,” Bilia Luxembourg said in its press release.

In addition, 25 unmarked vehicles will be added to the fleet for other types of missions.

“Over the years, a number of BMW X5s have been added to the fleet of intervention vehicles on our motorways. There was an unprecedented demand for this fleet,” Billia said.

According to official figures published on its website, the Grand-Ducal police force had 966 vehicles at its disposal in February 2026.

In 2024, the police took delivery of 48 models of the Skoda Kodiaq, ordered from Losch Luxembourg. Cars from the Czech manufacturer, as well as those from German manufacturers Mercedes and BMW, make up the bulk of the police force’s equipment.
