Hi,I am planning to build BrickCityDepot's modular consulate, which is an alternative model for the Town Hall:

It has a parking lot, and I obviously need to build a fitting car for this purpose; I guess a black BMW or Mercedes or similar :).

I have browsed through all available Town/City sets but haven't seen anything appropriate. Can anyone recommend such a car from an official set or a MOC (with available instructions + parts list)? It must be in modular / minifig scale.

I would have thought the car from the Palace Cinema modular would make for a good ambassadorial car, although you may need to mod a roof onto it.

Something like this should be perfect:

I still think that's one of the most disappointing vehicles that TLG has produced - too blocky, cartoony

Yep! Or something like this Range Rover with tinted windows

I'd say one of the cars from the new truck transporter.

If you can find one for a decent price on Ebay this limo from 2010 might do the job. Although the car is only 4 studs wide so may need modding to be 6 wide for that truly luxurious feel. Alternatively the bricks for this mod, should be easily available from Bricklink or your other lego sets...

The car can't be too big. Parkinglot isn't big enough to make the turns

Hola!

The Range Rover-esque vehicle from 7635 - 4WD with Horse Trailer could be repurposed by removing the red details and using trans-black windows.

Thanks for the suggestions! As arator pointed out,the car cannot be too big. I think I'll go with EvMan's suggestion and bricklink and mod the car from 7635.

If you go with the land rover/range rover, make sure (for the sake of realism) that you put a black or green 2 x 2 plate under it to represent the typical fluid leaks. You might also want a tow truck standing by around the corner.

Ha ha! Note taken :)

If you lengthen the land rover / range rover a bit and make it black with black windows, you get a Chevy Suburban :)
