Use

Bond used the BMW to travel around the Hamburg area, after Bond investigated Carver's building and took with him Gupta's coding device used to confuse the Devonshire of it's real position. Bond drove the BMW to his hotel to discover Paris' body, Bond was held at gunpoint by Dr. Kaufman whilst Carver's guards tried to break into Bond's car, containing the coding device in a secret glove compartment. The guards started whipping into the car with sledge hammers and crow bars, merely making a few scratches, after much frustration, the guards contacted Kaufman.

Bond disposed of Kaufman and went down to the car park, started the car by remote, blasting tear gas at the guards. Bond remotely drove the car and jumped into the back seat, thus a wild car chase started, Bond disposing of the other vehicles using missiles and tire shredding spikes. Bond finally jumped from the car and controlled it using the remote control's LCD screen, Bond crashed the car through a concrete barrier at the top level of the car park, the car plummeted onto the street below and smashed through the shop from of AVIS rent-a-car.
