BMW E31 wheel style specs:
The BMW E31 8 series was only offered with 5 different wheel options over its 9 year production run. Not all wheel options were offered in all markets of the world. The 850CSi was not sold in the North American market and as a result never received the M Parallels, style 37, as a wheel option. The below BMW E31 wheel style specs cover all E31 8 series models offered.
