Coil packs, water pump, MAF to add to your list above. At 70K miles ensure Inspections 1 & 2 and interim oil changes have been carried out also.

Ensure the MV2's are not reps - Majority of them are terrible. Genuine MV2's will be stamped and also staggered fitment. Reps are not staggered fitment.

Watch out for anything below a 323Ci - they just won't fit the cool image the E46 couple strives for.
