Once A Spy Always A Spy: Former James Bond Star Pierce Brosnan Pickups New BMW i8

Because what is staying cool at 62 if it you don't have a brand new plug-in hybrid sportscar? After all, we are talking about one of the greatest James Bond actors, an excellent Irishman who loves his rides classy and fancy. BMW’s green boy may be full of 21st-century technologies, but it doesn’t mean it’s not appealing to Pierce Brosnan's eagerness for speed and style.

 In the four James Bond movies Pierce Brosnan starred in between 1995 and 2002, the Irish actor drove plenty of cars. There even was a BMW 7 series he would chase bad guys with, but who would have guessed he is fond of the German automaker in real life too. The actor was on hand to personally collect the keys to his gleaming new BMW i8 after it was delivered at his beach-front residence in Los Angeles, the other day.

I've seen one in person. They look as awkwardly styled in person as they do in pictures.

Aside from all the other quirks, I just can't get past the eyebrows over the tail lights.

I like it's exterior but found it terribly awkward to get in and out of. The door doesn't really get out of the way as you try to enter and there is a massive threshold to crawl over to then eventually fall into the seat... Once you are in, it is a great place to be but a challenge for sure to get in and out I found. BTW, I am only 5'10

I sort of like the styling but that door.... Ol Pierce Brosnan is going to have a bulging disc in his lower back before too long.

I like the single color… otherwise that Porsche 911 poop will not get out of my head… mind is always in the gutter I suppose
