Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Drove a 928S at the weekend (wife wants a new car). What a horrible piece of ….
It was nothing like I remember from one I drove a few years back. This car felt sluggish, had heavy steering, seemed under braked and slow to react – esp the auto box. Is it me or was this just a bad car?
It was relatively cheap though.

Agreed, there is something so 70-80s cool about them.
Some interesting figures on the link to digest regarding performance for different options.

Took the same car for a drive about a month ago and what a disappointing half hour. The box was sluggish and I'd forgotten just how dated they are for such a great looking car back then and still now.

That's really surprising and disappointing, everything I have ever heard about 928's has always been very good, and I have always had a healthy respect for these "rocket ships"
Maybe it's just a "one off" dud car. Both of you who have driven it came to the same conclusion.
What a shame.
Hi Airhead, I too recently drove a 928, my first, and found the same things that you mentioned above. I love the look of the car and heard so many good things about them but was disappointed when I drove it.
they WERE great cars,i used to love them
alas age has caught up with them
very expensive to maintain now,unless you can do the work yourself
many parts NLA,including most moulded rubber hoses
they are expensive to maintain whether you drive them regularly or rarely,shit just seems to go wrong with them
like painting the harbour bridge by the time you get to the end it's time to start again
hence the market value on them(i doubled my money on my old one ,sold it for 2k
)
a good one should still go fairly hard though
such a shame i really used to have a passion for the big landsharks
This era BMWs are alot of car for the Money.
I drove a 928 S4 a year ago and it was a slug and I suspect the Trans had some terrible things lurking within as it had a bearing rumble. Rest of the car was great "One Careful Owner".
When the seller refused a PPI from my preferred specialist I walked away.
I'd have a 928 GTS anyday...................after a PPI.
