Sandton police spokesperson Captain Kym Cloete confirmed the warning about the BMW and the suspected link to the Golf GTI.
Maphakela said the public must be aware of suspicious vehicles following them.
He advised the public not to stop if they see the white BMW tailing them, and rather to drive to the nearest police station, service station or public place.
