"Goldeneye" BMW Z3

The 1996 BMW Z3 Roadster debuted in the 1995 film "Goldeneye." As expected the character Major Boothroyd aka "Q" modified the roadster to meet his own high standards. Unfortunately, these modifications on the BMW Z3 were not really used in the film:

• Stinger Missiles behind the headlights
• Ejector Seat
• Emergency Parachute Braking System
• All-points Radar

Months before it's release to the general public BMW had provided EON productions with an example of the new roadster that they were readying for production, this exclusivity alone guaranteed that the roadster would generate interest wherever it was driven. This was the first occasion when BMW and EON partnered with regard to the vehicles issued to or used by Bond in the films. A limited run of "Bond Edition" models was produced which sold out within hours of the release, with each carrying a numbered plaque testifying to their authenticity, these examples are now sought after collectibles in their own right.
