After spending some time on a 930 this weekend, I am afraid that I am leaning back towards the 996/997 (2005 only) series of cars as the IMS bearing is replaceable, but the more I look into it, the more I see that it can fail without any notice. Car I am looking at now is a Tip, so tearing it down "just to see" is a pricey option.
no magnetic drain plug in at this time Gus but ordered one up from LN,here is a pic of my magnet across the paper filter after 700 miles of oil change.
