James Bond BMW 750iL ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’
The BMW 750iL driven by James Bond in Tomorrow Never Dies is fully fitted out by Q Branch with an almost bewildering array of tricks and gadgets, not least being able to drive the vehicle via remote control on a mobile phone, while deploying a missile launcher hidden in the roof. 007 puts both of these features to particularly good use during an action-packed chase in a multi-storey car park in Hamburg.
Designed as the flagship vehicle range in BMW’s product portfolio, the BMW 7 Series is a luxury sedan car that has been produced by the German manufacturer since 1977, under a range of model types. Produced between 1994 and 2001, the 750iL sits atop the third generation of this vehicle series known as the E38 model type. Boasting a 5.4L V12 engine, the vehicle was notable as the first car available in Europe to offer built in satellite navigation in the dashboard.
