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.

Those wheels are so hot, they complement your car well.

Is there any BMW that doesn't look good on that style of racing dyns? I think not! At least, any 1980's-1900's BMW
