    Both are too big. I need 17's because my car is slammed to the ground due to the coil overs

    Staggered? Squared? Oem
    Or reps? Are you sure the mpars are for e39 or e38 hubs? If they’re for e38 add an extra 100 bucks to bore them out or 200 for adapters

    I think they both look great but the M-Pars are going to be sooooo much easier to clean.

    I like the Style 42 over the Mpars, but it's really up to your personal preference.
    Staggered rims are great but you lose the convenience of rotation. That's why I have my 18" staggered wheels for special occasions and a 16" square set for daily driving duty.

    Too many
    Mpars are my favorite. I have them on my E31, E38, and E39. So easy to clean also.

    First are Mpars, they're a single forged piece opposed to the 2 piece Style 42 below

    Those aren’t oem style 42’s. They’re reps but can’t tell who makes them.

    Agreed. Only reason I know is I have two sets of oem 18” 42’s, one set which I’ve been trying to restore so I can spot the 18’s easily

    I'd go with OEM all day. Never liked aftermarket wheels that much. M-pars for sure. If they were genuine 42s I actually prefer those on non M cars (without the m bumpers) but once you out bumpers on, you have to go with M-pars. I don't think the parallels work well on the normal aero packages cars. Alpina wheels are best in that situation!

    Nice! But you have M-bumpers so M-pars would be better!
