This thread was a great idea to show the 928 at it's best instead of all the problem threads. Posting the best art shots that I believe are mostly new to rennlisters,
And they were maintenance monsters!
Couldn't get the oil filter canister past the front sway bar. Had to turn the canister upside down, with oil going everywhere, clean out the canister, change the filter insert and O-ring, turn the thing back over, and pray that the O-ring stayed in place.
And BMW had a hell of a time, through this period of time, figuring out that the cooling system requirements were substantially different in 105 degree weather versus German weather.
Seemed like these things were always one heat wave away from needing another head gasket.....
Lots of restomods out there with M30 and even S38 engines but that probably doesn't make much sense in a world with skyrocketing prices for original-ish examples.
credit to Ratarossa an owner and a ferrari fanboy for his honesty and sense of humor for calling out the **** quality that was ferrari and lambo back in the 80's when the 928 was miles ahead of its competitors in design and construction. I already made a joke about coat hangers being used for the frames of ferrari's
There is exterior looks, interior looks, engine looks and the Industrial design of the bones of a vehicle. Above Ratarossa points out the flimsy nature of the BB512 which has an asking price of $300,000.00 and for what.
Now look at the 928 structure, most of us have seen it, it is Night and Day difference. You are talking coat hangers to serious industrial pieces. And that is why the 928 feels so solid in hard cornering.
