Bonding with Bond: Fun Facts about the BMW 750il
- Featuring high-tech gadgetry, tear gas dispensers, mounted missiles under the hood, and a set of cable snippers popping from the car logo, the 1997 BMW 750il made its starring appearance in the James Bond film, Tomorrow Never Dies. In addition to the BMW 750il's unique artillery, the auto in the film featured a second steering wheel on the back seat. Because of the additional steering wheel, this BMW shown in the film is capable of being remotely controlled.
- Additionally, the car chase scene with James Bond's BMW 750il took around three weeks to film.

Some of these unique configurations include a security system that emits electric charges to scare off thieves.
