Ok, not really 928 related, but the #1 fan club of the original Risky Business is this group.

Anyway - Have any of you seen the movie "Girl Next Door"? I just watched it on cable - fun movie, with a very similar theme as Risky Business.

Then in the end the star of the movie drives away in a BMW Z4 - dubed the Land Shark by BMW.

I found it interesting - think some car buff slipped this in knowing the 928's knickname and it's role in the original movie?

Yea, it's a slow, cold night up here - need another one of these

That's funny, it remainded me too of the same thing. A newer version of Risky Business. I could swear even the theme song was a variation of the original.

Haha! Good catch on the music, dead on!

Yea I said the same thing to my wife.. This is Risky Biz.. and yes even the music was very similar to Tangerine Dream.

Though it was a good movie as well.. now if it just had a shark in it . . .

Was flickin' through channels the other night and came across 'Scarface' and the scene where Al Pacino is looking at buying a 928..........silver in colour and is a early '80's car I think.

Interesting, I'll have to look for that movie. Apparently, its common in the BMW world to call the Z4 A Shark. I've seen it referred to as such on Beemer web sites. Guess its nose & grill sorta lends to that look perhaps. At first it kinda bugged me a bit they sound as though they think they came up with it. I mentioned it to my wife a few months ago, since she has & loves her Z4.She's even called her car "her Shark". I told her that there will always only be one true Shark of course, even if hers is a really neat car too! Hey, that Z4 has finally catapulted her into being much more of a car nut like me, so I'm not complainin one bit!

Stingray - Mako Shark

That's it Hacker. I'm no vette historian, but the Mako Shark (v.1) was created in 1961, Mako II was created later and either inspired, or was inspired by, the Stingray design of '68. But enough bowtie talk, Shark = 928 in my book.

There's another cool shot when he leaves the club - the lights pop up, and drives away. (I need to sample that one.)
