    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.

    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?

    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.

    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!

    I miss my E31!!!!!!!!!!
    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.
