From an 8 series?

It's perfectly normal for BMWs to have them wider at the year than the front. Usually get referred to as 'staggered'.

I've seen similar to those recently in 3 series fitment. BMW Style 23, from the E36 3 series. According to the screen grab I took they were also fitted to the Z3 1.8 & 1.9, but I don't think I've ever seen a Zed actually wearing them. Looks to be exactly what you have, and pretty rare on the Z3 as well

Yes gaz the 3 series!

Yes gaz the 3 series!

I have a feeling they are one of the E36 M3 option wheels, but I can't guarantee that information.

nice bit of a dish on them, they suit the car imo, refurb and paint ;-)
