For Brosnan's second Bond film, BMW supplied 7-Series saloons en masse, and there was yet more crass product placement for BMW for its new flagship retro roadster, the Z8. Like the Z3, this was still only a prototype when the film was being made. The cars used in the film were actually highly accurate replicas of the Z8, based on Chevrolet-powered Cobra kit cars built in the UK. Just as well they were plastic, as they didn't last long before they were chopped in half.
