In Tomorrow Never Dies, Bond remotely drives a BMW 750iL from the back seat during the Hamburg parking-garage chase.
The car is equipped with controls that let Bond steer and operate it while he remains in the rear compartment. He uses the system after being trapped inside the vehicle, turning the luxury sedan into an improvised escape machine.
Although the film calls attention to the BMW’s remote-driving technology, the production cars were modified for filming, and some shots used stunt vehicles or external control arrangements. The 750iL was the long-wheelbase version of BMW’s E38 7 Series limousine.
The model is often incorrectly remembered as a BMW 750i without the final letter. The film’s featured designation is 750iL, with the L indicating the long-wheelbase form.
