Pierce Brosnan hasn’t just passed down his striking looks to his sons, Dylan and Paris (shared with his wife Keely Shaye Brosnan); he’s also gifted them his taste for a smooth, sophisticated ride.

The 71-year-old actor might have got his love for cars from playing the role of James Bond, boasting an impressive personal collection of rides just like his most iconic on-screen persona. His youngest son Paris, 23, seems to have followed in his wheelmarks.

Paris owns a BMW E30 from 1991, a classic member of the BMW 3 Series that was made between 1982 and 1994, in silver, and will often share glimpses of drives down the coast in his car.

His latest social media update captured him revving into a performance tuning auto shop in LA, ready to give his beloved ride a few sleek touch-ups.

“Big thanks to @412motorsport for getting the e30 dialed in! Always in good hands with their team & it’s all in the details…” he wrote on Instagram, which followed with a comment from dad Brosnan saying “Easy up there,” asking his son to be careful with the vehicle as well as himself.

Accompanying a series of photos that showcased the meticulous work behind maintaining the car—some with the hood popped open and others featuring sleek models in the garage—was a thrilling video of the car drifting. This obviously caught the attention of his father, who had to remark on the safety element, even though it wasn’t his son behind the wheel.

A fan added to his response: “Going to need frequent tyre changes with that sort of stuff,” while many others similarly asked him to be careful with sweet comments like: “Don’t worry your Dad, he adores you.”

In an interview with The Sunday Times discussing his impressive car collection, the Remington Steele actor revealed his prized BMW 750i, boasting a sleek black exterior, matching black interior, and tinted windows. He humorously placed the blame for this stylish choice squarely on Paris.

“My son Paris said, ‘You’ve gotta get it blacked out, Dad!’ So now I drive around in this gangster-looking car — meanwhile, my son can’t see a darned thing driving at night,” he shared.

He also confessed that the idea of teaching his two younger sons how to drive wasn’t particularly appealing.

“Now, that [would have been] wildly terrifying,” he joked, which is why they took lessons with an instructor. “Paris drives himself to school [and] I sit beside him. That’s the extent of our driving together.”

When Pierce stepped away from the role of Bond, the producers gifted him a stunning Aston Martin V12 Vanquish. Tragically, this beauty was lost to a devastating house fire at his Malibu home in 2015.

“It blew up, actually. We had a bit of a fire in the house, so all I was left with was the two name plates.”

What in the 007 real-life stunt stuff is that?

Anyway, we’re loving how father and son bond over their shared love for vintage cars.
