Oh, good point, I didn't think of that. Winter's finally broken here and the weather is comfortable now, hence my post 
hey i hope you get it, if you do let us know how it handles. I thought the sl600 would handle bad with all that engine hanging over the front wheels but it snapped slow corners quick, much better than my sc. The wide wheels and short wheelbase helped, yet i was still pleasantly surprised. What SL did you get?
I also have been a long time admirer of the 850/840s. The stock wheels do not do the car justice and it looks fantastic with something that fills the wheel wells.
That said the last time I looked the interior is so flat and plain. That coupled with hard to find anything service wise and the poor reliability are not encouraging.
Definitely looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
BTW, the 08 Mercs look great. I didn't think I would like them when only the pics were out but in person absolutely. I feel towards the 08 CL65 the way you describe your 850 passion. Owning one without a warranty may make me wish I bought a boat instead but that twin turbo V12 wrapped in that coupe body is great.

You can call me a Luddite, but the interior of that model BMW is my favorite kind of interior. Looks like an executive transport. No BS, no frilly cutesy fonts, no garish aluminum accents, no swoopy curves, just pure commitment.
Heck no, the SL550 is very sweet and at nearly 400hp no slouch.
Here are some 8 series pics:
Optional? stock wheels that actually look great (love the rear windows going all the way down and no B pillar)

Thermactor, what year and is the wood trim factory? Your pic and the one I just posted makes me retract my previous statement. Maybe an updated steering wheel but otherwise NO problem in fact I like.
From the website above my wheel question answered, "The wheels and tires are an upgrade and are later model 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 wheels with Michelin Pilot tires sharing the same sizes as the new M5 BMW. This is a true looks and handling upgrade, over the best wheels ever offered on any of these 8-Series. The original wheels/tires on all models of the E31 are defiantly a week point. This is a must for any E31 owner!"
