BMW Z9 (2000 - 2003) : DINGOLFINGER
Its odd how the James Bond connection stays with some cars. The Aston Martin DB5, the Lotus Esprit and even cars like the Citroen 2CV all have the indelible stamp of 007 about them. To this list we can add the BMW Z8, a car manufactured at BMWs specialist Dingolfing factory and which featured in 1999s The World Is Not Enough. The car in the movie was a pre-production mock up which was just as well, as it got cut in half by a huge buzz saw.Were it a genuine Z8, one suspects the saw blade would have bent. This is one well-built car, a fact to which a handful of lucky owners will doubtless attest. As a used proposition it makes an interesting case for itself.
