    The 1999 BMW Z8 was fresh off the production line for this Mission. Bond used this vehicle for his trip to the Baku mines and to Zukovsky's caviar factory. There, the sleek auto met its doom when saw-wielding choppers sliced the roadster to pieces on the dock. After witnessing this, Bond remarks, "Q's not going to like this." Before being diced, the BMW did manage to get off a missile and destroy one of the choppers.

    Production Note - BMW Corp. was severely behind schedule in building the Z8 for the film's production. When filming began, they did not have a "true" model to give to producers. To satisfy filmmakers, BMW instead simply mounted the Z8 body onto a completely different model's drivetrain.
