Nice photos. The blue one (in the 1st, 2nd & 3rd photos) looks like my car except mine has a light gray interior and that one looks like a dark gray.

Yes, they produced a total number of 97 based on the classic 5.0 850I and a 5.7 version based on the 850CSI.

E31 were always my favorite BMWs. Beautiful cars, just beautiful. Terrific pictures, great to see many of them together.
Is the red one an 850CSi?

More 8's than I have seen in my whole life, lol

Every time we start feeling too unique we have a meeting with a bunch of 8's in attendance. Then we can feel like conformists again for a while :)

All over the map. As usual depends on mileage, condition, model and year. I've seen them for under $10k to upper 30's.

Yes I do. They're mostly hi-res but I reduced these for you.

gspdbill,

Are your rear wheels 18x9.5? or are they 18x8s all the away around!

I am thinking about these in Chrome w/ 18x9.5 rear!

Looks like 18x8 all around. 18x9.5 would have a deeper lip. But it is hard to tell from a flat side picture. My old 840 had the 18x9.5 with 285 tires on them.

Simply gorgeous. Seeing that many together reminds me of my senior year of high school when I went to the stealership to drive my dad's home for him. that's the only other time I've seen more than 2 in one place.

I hope to have one some day.

Mine are 18x8's all around. I didn't want the additional understeer issues w/ the staggered setup.

The lighting really makes a diff. in how the color shows (hope that makes sense).

Sex on wheels. Impossible to pick a favorite. I see no alternative to an E31 for my next vehicle :cool
