This was the first of BMW’s sponsored Bond cars. The Z3 endured a remarkable marketing campaign and wasn’t even released before the movie.

That’s quite the let down compared to what it could have been.

This car was arguably the pinnacle of a gadget car. Every ounce of the car was a gadget. The car was bulletproof. The car could be operated by remote control. The handles were electrified as a disruption to would be thieves or assaulters. It was loaded with weapons. Of course, it wasn’t actually a BMW 750. It was a 740.
