Page Note: Many of the vehicles have two modifiers as part of their attributes: QT (Quick Turn) and DB (Double Back). Also, go to Vehicle Modifications for the complete list of modifications specified on this page that are not found in the Basic Game Rules or Q Manual.
BMW 750i
Game Information: The BMW 750i has the following modifications:
- Level III Armor (because of the BMW 750i's design, the Damage Class of weapons firing at it is reduced by 7 instead of 6)
- Caltrip Thrower System
- Electrical Defense System
- Gas Ports
- Navigation Tracking/Warning Detection System
- Remote Control System
- Rocket Launcher Rack
- Secret Compartment
- Self-Inflating Tires
- Twin H&K MP5 Machineguns
| PM | RED | CRUS | MAX | RGE | FCE | STR | QT | DB |
| +2 | 2 | 99 | 155 | 310 | 4 | 9 | 0 | 0 |
Q Evaluation: For some time, we had government contracts with Lotus and Aston Martin. Although these companies make tremendous and very reliable vehicles, they were not discreet enough for secret service duty. With our new contract with BMW, not only is the reliability maintained, but their vehicles enable our field agents to blend into the crowd. The BMW 750i is a perfect example of the functionality and discreteness that we were looking for. - Q

BMW Z3 Roadster
The BMW Z3 Bond used in Goldeneye actually had the 1.9 liter DOHC 16-valve inline-4 engine. Since then, the BMW Z3 has been outfitted with a 2.8 liter DOHC 24-valve inline-6, which is what the following stats are based on.
Game Information: The BMW Z3 Roadster has the following modifications:
- Level III Armor
- Burglar Protection
- Ejector Seat
- Missile Launching System (The Z3 missile system uses stinger missiles, instead of the 1.75-Inch Free Flight Rockets; the stats are the same except that the stinger missiles have a +2 PM.)
- Parachute Breaking System
- Radar System
| PM | RED | CRUS | MAX | RGE | FCE | STR | QT | DB |
| +1 | 3 | 87 | 128 | 217 | 2 | 6 | +1 | +1 |
Q Evaluation: Although the Lotus was a fine vehicle in the field, we have decided to replace it with the BMW Z3. The Z3 is not equipped with a submersible modification, because it would have been technically difficult and costly to do for a convertible. And, the submersible modification has not been used enough in the field to warrant its cost. - Dr. Walter Cobbet

BMW Z8
Originally codenamed the Z07 (after the classic 507) when it was a concept car, the Z8 was designed to rival such cars as the Aston Martin DB7 Vantage, Mercedes-Benz SL500, Porsche 911 and Jaguar XJR. The BMW Z8 has a 5L V8 engine that produces 400 bhp. Top speed is estimated at 155mph+ and 0-60 under 5 seconds.
Game Information: The BMW Z8 Roadster has the following modifications:
- Titanium Armor
- Radar System
- Dual Missile Launcher
- Head-Up Display
- Frequency Scanner
- Remote Control System
| PM | RED | CRUS | MAX | RGE | FCE | STR | QT | DB |
| +2 | 2 | 99 | 160 | 217 | 2 | 6 | +1 | +1 |
Q Evaluation: Agents found the Z3 to be a little underpowered, so the Z8 is the answer. Not only does it have some nice extras, but it also has six beverage cup holders. - R

Mazda Miata
The Miata is simply a fun car to drive.
Game Information:
| PM | RED | CRUS | MAX | RGE | FCE | STR | QT | DB |
| +1 | 4 | 62 | 123 | 300 | 2 | 4 | +1 | +1 |
Q Evaluation: It is an unspoken understanding that Mazda builds the superior roadster for the dollar, which is nice when you have field agents always destroying your equipment. Although our European agents don't use this car in the field, I believe our Japanese branch is fitting the new Miatas with some nice extras. - Q

Q Boat
An ingenious water-intake system similar to a jet engine propels the boat and it can operate in as little as three inches of water. The boat uses a powerful 350 hp V12 Chevy "jet" engine, which sucks water in at the front and pumps it out of the back at high pressure, therefore eliminating the need for conventional propellers.
In case the user requires extra power (e.g. to drive the craft along a busy street), a jet booster is fitted to the rear of the boat, which can be turned on and off for short bursts by the occupant.
Game Information: The Q boat has the following modifications:
- Titanium Armor
- Jet Booster
- Radar System
- Navigation Tracking/Warning Detection System
- Torpedoes Launcher
- Submersible Modification.
The Q Boat does not have an enclosed cockpit, so if the pilot is not wearing scuba equipment, you must use the drowning rules found in the For Your Information supplement. Also, the jet booster must be used for land use and, while on land, the special abilities (e.g. jumps) of the jet booster can't be used.
While on water, the PM is -1 for the first 5 rounds of use unless the agent has previous experience with the Q Boat.
| PM | RED | CRUS | MAX | RGE | FCE | STR | QT | DB | USE |
| +2 | 3 | 30 | 70 | 250 | 3 | 7 | +2 | +2 | Water |
| 0 | 4 | 6 | 25 | - | 3 | 7 | 0 | 0 | Submersed |
| -1 | 4 | 20 | 50 | - | 3 | 7 | 0 | 0 | Land |
Q Evaluation: The Q Boat was one of my pet projects, and I was almost finished with the first prototype before 007 destroyed it chasing a young girl he later nicknamed The Cigar Girl. Unfortunately, my notes were in the cockpit at the time and were lost in the chase, so I had to start over. But, I'm finally done with it and I must stay I'm very happy with the results. Now, I just have to make sure that 007 doesn't destroy this one! - Q
