Yes I remember that scene fondly. And it was really great to see a classic 
Aston 
Martin being driven the way it was meant to be. However, I guess I was just 
dissapointed by the blantant hype an commecialism used by BMW to promote their 
cars/motorcycles in the films, especially the second one. I also understand 
that 
the next one will be featuring the latest Z8:-(
Don't get me wrong, I love BMW's for what they are, but NOT as 007's car.

dad at the local drive-in :-)
