It's not that cool. Factoids on "Tomorrow Never Dies" from Motortrend:

Of 17 "Z8" were used in the film:

* 3 were hand-built, factory-spec BMW Z8
* 2 were Z8-looking car bodies on Cobra kit cars
* 1 was radio controlled 1/4 model
* 1 highly-detailed 1/4 model (as fill-in for the RC model)
* 1 full-scale model (blow-up scene)
* several mock-ups

* 2 jumped off of building
* 2 trashed (?) at rental-car car lot
* another 3 crunched at car park
* 1 was turned upside-down and squished
* several more were sacrificed to the BMW gods
