Like the gadgets, the cars have also been a significant aspect of the James Bond series. In each film, Bond would drive a new magnificent piece of machinery and most of the time, these would be utilized in the big action scenes.
These cars would have its standard-issue modifications which would help Bond in whatever kind of mishap that would come his way. For example - in case of nagging or annoying partners, there's always the ejector seat!
However, some Bond cars did not live to their potential and were underused. Like the Bond car for the 1995 film "Goldeneye", the BMW Z3.
What made it the worst one for me was the fact that there was such a build up about ut during the Q scene with Desmond Llewellyn. Q spoke about the gadgets and the features it had, the Stinger missiles, a self-destruct system, and the always-handy ejector seat, among others.
The car was seen briefly during Bond and Natalya's drice in Cuba and was then dealt to CIA agent Jack Wade. It was not used in any action scene since the film already had the massive tank chase in Russia.
It had such a good build up, with one of the longest and funniest Q scenes, but had no pay-off.
