“Dear PoPville,
There’s a BMW X5 M series at the BMW service center. It has a US Government official use only plate with a “S” designation for Department of State.
Given the administrations / DOGEs at times aggressive effort to reduce agency spending paid for by the taxpayer, I’m curious to understand how a performance luxury SUV is a justified cost.
How big is the federal BMW M series fleet? If this is an employees personal vehicle with the ability to use official use plates, then that may be a different scenario and more understandable if they’re assuming the majority of the cost rather than the taxpayer.
Maybe your readers will know more about federal procurement policy, because I’ve not seen luxury government vehicles before and I’m interested to learn more.”
