BMW Z8 JAMES BOND COLLECTION


The World Is Not Enough is a 1999 film and is the nineteenth entry in the James Bond series, and the third to star Pierce Brosnan as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. The film was directed by Michael Apted, with the original story and screenplay written by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and Bruce Feirstein. It was produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.

The title The World Is Not Enough traces its origins to the English translation of the Latin phrase Orbis non sufficit, revealed in the novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service and its film adaptation to be the Bond family motto. In the film, Bond is assigned to kill Renard, a terrorist who plans to permanently disrupt petroleum shipments from the Caspian Sea by causing the meltdown of a nuclear submarine in the waters of Istanbul.

Although the film had a mixed critical reception, it earned over $361 million worldwide, becoming the highest grossing James Bond film at that time.




The Corgi's BMW Z8 is one of 007's latest cars, from The World is not Enough. Like the Aston featured here, it's weighty little thing-and a really delightful casting with some nice detailing. We think its a model that stands on its own without any James Bond connection if you like BMWs, from the spoked steering wheel to the detailed dash and excellent badging. In addition, it does have a smashing secret feature-even if you do need to be 007 to work out the instructions! Hidden rockets pop out the bonnet side air vents, operated by cunningly concealed headrest buttons. One for children and adults! Price $13.49. Buy it now and See more.
