No offence… all I meant to say that from the looks they are M3 mirror caps and not M5/M8, the shape and the little “wing” a little differs

I really do like the stock wheels on the M850i....

Appreciate them far more now that the snowies are off!

It is not lowered. If you take a pic from a lower perspective, the car appears a bit dropped.

I'd love to lower but my 57 year old body appreciates a comfortable more so than appeareance

I have them on my M850i free from the dealer along with all the Shadowline trim thanks to BMW's FUBAR on my second order. There's a thread on that aka the Cerium eradication program. Sure they don't have the "wing" of an M series mirror but they go great with the CF roof and Tanzanite Blue on the car.

Irony as 57 too and the stock height of the M850i is already a challenge to get in and out of especially with a bum left knee. That said I do it with grace out of practice but just chuckle at the wife when she tries to get in with her 5" heels. 🤣

LOL as the wife would never allow that even though she knows my love for this forum. In her defense I forgot that besides the 5" heels she's sporting a handbag I'd consider carry on luggage. 🤣

Seriously as outside of when we go to a sporting event or concert in which it's a clear bag (never happening for the wife) it's a small clutch purse at best. Otherwise the woman walks around with a purse full of crap and the size of my go to travel backpack when I was a F50 travel warrior. 👍

Stock, the 8 series has one of the best rears in the BMW range--particularly the 850.

I love the styling with the paint matched diffuser making me wish mine was white 😅.
Have you ever given thought to having the wheels powder coated white?

My car isn't entirely stock, but I don't see the relevance.

Just my opinion that the stock M850 rear looks a lot tougher than your new set up. To each their own, of course.

Relevance? Not following....

Stated that stock is boring, I never kept a car stock. Nothing more in that sentence other than just that.....

Thanks....

Actually got rid of the 20's and went to 19's. Ride was to harsh with these crappy roads. Now the car rides like a GT cruiser. My 58 year old bones appreciate it so much. Ride quality is superb now

So glad I ordered the 19's. Good wheel, GT ride, holds the P4s's just fine.
