8 Series (E31) (1991 - 1997) As the last E24 rolled off the production line in 1989, its replacement was quick on its heels to fulfill the fantasies of those looking for a touring coupe with all of the luxury, performance, and prestige of a BMW, only now with both 8 and 12 cylinder engines.

Seriously?? I thought they were 19inch M PARS, they look way too big to be 18's.

Thanks! I'm assuming yours is the Calyspo? Mine looks like that but its actually a bit darker. i found this out when i had the front repainted... the shop painted it calyspo and then realised it was a custom colour and had to match and repaint it.
As for being lower its just H&R fronts and i forget whats in the back. the back was done when i bought the car. i'll check when i get my car back this week.
