Got myself a BMW Z3

Indy Magnoli

The closest to I've come to owning a replica film car was a old Chevy that I was planning on repainting into a Blues Mobile... but never got around to it.

But, I just saw this Z3 and couldn't resist:



Even the license plate is very similar to the one in Goldeneye (BEB instead of BXB and the last three digits are an ambigram of the film plate). I'll be using this car to do a full photo shoot with some of my Bond style suits, shirts and ties... plus it should be fun to drive around.

Kind regards,
Magnoli

Congrats Indy! Can't wait to see how the photo shoot goes. Did you check for stinger missiles behind the headlights? :007)

Congrats Indy..

I'm not trying to out do you but.. I have number 22 of the 100 that they made. I bought a few years ago. I love it

Congratulations!

I think the Z3 is maturing like a fine wine and looks better with age. A classic!
Looking forward to the photo shoot too.

I was thinking of making a box of replica missiles to put in the trunk... just in case someone makes a similar comment.

Nice car, even though I'm not a BMW fan.

Did the car in Goldeneye have licence plates??? As far as I know, the answer is no...

It only had a plate at the back (you can see it when Felix flies over the top of the Z3). From what I read on-line, the original plate was BXB608.
