This time the DB5's gadgets include a fax machine in the radio:

And instead of the switches (oil-slick, tyre slashers etc) in the front armrest, there is a mini-fridge for a champagne bottle, handy for winning over Bond's female travel companion ("I was just sent here to evaluate you!") after scaring the living daylights out of her during the race with Xenia's Ferrari.

Note that his "new" DB5 has licenseplate BMT214A - The one in Goldfinger had BMT216A!

The DB5 Is Better Than The Mystery Machine.

They used 3 DB5s in Goldeneye. One of them; I believe it is used in the night scenes at the casino (not the interior) with the gadgets belonged to Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear. He probably sold it for a fortune as people pay silly money for Astons with Bond connections.

One of the three got pranged, but not badly.

During filming the Aston Martin collided with the Ferrari, but they managed to completely repair it overnight. About Jeremy Clarkson owning the DB5, I think (although I can't remember 100%) he once said that it wasn't true, but then there was another rumour that he actually drove the car in the film, that was completely untrue.

Info and chassis numbers for the 3 cars at http://www.astonmartins.com/db4_5_6_s/db5_007_goldeneye.htm - "one in perfect condition for close up and interior shots (DB5/2175/R), and two more 'stunt cars' for the driving sequences in the hills above Monte Carlo (DB5/1484/R and DB5/1885/R). The stunt cars were purchased in relatively poor shape prior to filming and underwent a very quick restoration at the main AM dealer, Stratton Motor Company, Norwich, just for the film." 1484R reappears in Skyfall - /vehicle_488521-Aston-Martin-DB5-1484R-1964.html.

Looks as if plain glass here, but the DB5 in /vehicle_555312-Jaguar-XJ-X300-1995.html has tints. I haven't pinned down any definite contradictions between the various Bond DB5s in this film or other sightings of "this" car, but areas which might expose differences are mirrors (number, position, and style), sidelights (white or orange) and plate fonts (this more linear style is more 70s/80s than mid-60s). And main does not seem to have the small badge low down behind front wheel arch, but it's there in the thumbs with Ferrari and the Jag X300 photo.
