The automaker's $11,000 gift is a scaled-down model of that piece of incredibilia James Bond drove in Goldfinger.

For the man who wants to take...
...rented a live lion (the state symbol of Bavaria) to draw attention to its exhibit. B.M.W. got more attention than it bargained for when, in full view of TV cameras, the lion bit a pretty 23-year-old model on the leg -so severely that she had to undergo plastic surgery...
