Thanks for the refresher Josh. It was the 264 that they used for 2008 when the E82 was launched, then both the 261 and 264 were available if my fading memory serves me right from 2009. I'm glad I skipped 2008, as in 2009 they offered both the 261 and Le Mans blue with that model year. Still to this day my favorite BMW color, although Valencia orange keeps creeping up on it as the years go by.

Both of those are great examples of classically beautiful double spoke wheels.

Can't argue with either examples being at the top of anyones list.
