MPar is the affectionate nick name many BMW owners have given to the BMW Style 37 M Parallel Wheel.
It's split 5-spoke design was offered on the Euro e34 M5, E31 8 series, E38 7 series, and e39 5 series. It became a well liked & sought-after oe (original equipment) "upgrade" BMW wheel...not only for the models it was offered as an option for...but many other models like the e32 7 series, USA e34 5 series, e24 6 series, e53 X5, and I've even seen them on an e61 6 series.
Many owners just liked the way this BMW 18" wheel looked on their models versus an aftermarket wheel. But this saturation also brought it's detractors, too...and some have gotten tired of the wheel's look. But it appears to still be standing the test-of-time as one of the overall liked BMW wheels.
