BMW Z8
The BMW Z8 driven by James Bond is fitted with dual rocket launchers and Stinger missiles, making it a formidable spy vehicle. It is featured in one of the film's most intense chase sequences, ending with the car being destroyed by a buzzsaw-equipped helicopter. The Z8 marked the final chapter in BMW's three-film product placement campaign with the Bond series, following the Z3 in GoldenEye and the 750iL in Tomorrow Never Dies. Since the Z8 had not been released at the time of filming, multiple mock-ups and working models were used for the stunts.
