    Nope, they are standard bmw as Limerick Man says. I was thinking about trying to find a set of MV2 alloys before I picked it up today but the garage cleaned up the set that are already on it and they've completely grown on me.

    The interior is nothing special. There's no leather and theres a bit of wear on the inside door handle and the dash trim isn't anything special either, however that should change soon enough because as soon as I have enough cash they will be the first things I'll be replacing.

    Are the MV2 alloys not stock on some 3'ers?

    I think they are the best looking alloys for any BMW along with the newer M3/M5 alloys.


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,694 ✭✭✭✭L-M


    MV4's are the nicest wheel (Bar genuine CSL's) on an E46.

    They look great. MV2s are far too common anyway.

    A sunny day combined with a few free hours equals car cleaning time!

    Nice car man but those alloys don't suit it at all

    They came with it (Ford OEM 17") - you usually see the smaller replica of the ST wheels (which I really liked) or the 5-spoke star wheels, but I much prefer these ones, i have only seen a few focii with them

    Sheils of Limerick had a silver one with those wheels on it, I was mad about them ever since. One of the lads who was buying a new Focus at the time tried buying them off the car but they wouldn't seperate them!

    The parking valet disappeared upon my arrival
    Image0036.jpg
    To recap on the work done so far on this bastard;

    Replacement Rad & Fresh Coolant
    Replacement Clutch
    Both Handbrake pivots free'd off
    Both Rear shoes free'd off and adjusted.
    Loads of welding which cost a fortune, 2 days worth.
    New pads in N/S/F caliper (which was also free'd off)
    Grease pumped into every nipple - all of which were open
    Replacement spark plugs, air filter and oil filters, carb cleaned
    New track rod end (o/s/f)
    Both steering gaiters replaced. Everything was seized solid.
    15w40 mineral oil
    points checked, cleaned adjusted. It had been done recently along with a new cap.
    The fuel tank was replaced just before I got it along with a new, genuine N/S/F door skin.
    A multitude of bulbs
    Underside fully sprayed in shultz.
    one new tyre, 2 new inner tubes and a load of balancing and a rim change
    An overhauled alternator
    Sound proofing in drivers footwell
    Some fibreglass bodging
    A half respray in cellouse. It looks good, but cost alot.
    Replacement wiper blades ( I used inserts to save the chrome arms)
    New fuel lines.

    And loads of other grief.............including new brake cylinders and brake pipes on the morning of its collection after they leaked during the night.

    Anyway as with all my classics its for sale if anyone is interested.

    I'll make a better for sale ad when I get my head straight.
