There were several special Z3 editions produced during the life of the model. The 007 special edition had a critical role, since it was used to introduce the Z3 to the world through a great product placement in a Bond movie. More special versions followed such as the Individual models, the Sport Edition, and a few one-off models.

He had 3 options: Orangeblur (the one he chose), Insectyellow (unknown), and Gunmetal (also unknown).The interior had to be the same color as the exterior.
