Why it matters
The Z3 was the first BMW to be Bond's car, issued to Pierce Brosnan by Q in GoldenEye (1995) when the film series returned after a six-year gap. It launched a three-film BMW association that continued with the 750iL and the Z8.

02Production & history

Every figure says what it counts.
No production figures recorded yet.
History
In the film Q presents the car and talks Bond through its additions, including radar, a self-destruct system and five forward gears. The weapons are only ever described and never seen in action, which the magazine says raises the possibility that they were never fitted.
The Z3 on sale in the UK began with the 1.9-litre 16-valve engine, which the magazine identifies as the car Bond drove.
