In the 1997 film Tomorrow Never Dies, legendary secret agent James Bond drives an E38-generation BMW 750iL equipped with machine guns, rockets, and other spy-worthy goodies. 28 years later, news comes to us via a report from CarScoops that the 7th Battalion 114th Separate Brigade of Ukrainian Armed Forces have built a weapon-equipped E38 of their own for combat against the Russian invasion forces. And theirs is definitely not firing blanks on a Hollywood set. And I thought Toyota trucks were the only military conversions...lol ** Edited by EDGEMAN at 12/18/2025, 6:51:38 PM
