You do provide honest advice Fox as is apparent on this forum, as do Nickxxx, Mark, Zain and more.

I understand the point on the MV's, obviously id be sitting too high on standard suspension, so whats the options on alloys ?.

Ocuk seems a decent BM forum :), are there others ?.

Any upgrades you guys think would suit please post.

BMWland is ok.

MV1's would actually sit well with that car as you have the pre-facelift sport bumpers already (which came with MV1s).

I would also consider the M-Sport 17" wheels too though which tend to go for less than the 18" MVs and have the advantage of cheaper tyres.

It'd be worth dropping it onto the M-Sport springs or, even better, Eibach pro springs for a smidge over £100 if you did go for 18" wheels.
 
I reckon it might work with MV2's too - this is mine:

Your fuel economy should be very good, my 1.9 gets 400miles on the dot per tank with all town driving inc the daily commute or a bit over 500 when combined with motorway. The 2L has vanos and is a newer engine so should get better figures I'd imagine!

You could get a dual exit backbox then nobody would tell the difference between 4cyl/6cyl...well apart from the difference in engine note of course :p
 
:P

If mine was a facelift 318 with 140hp I'd not be looking to change it tbh, it's a really nice car but needs more bhpeeeeeees!

So yours is a 1.9 petrol 52 plate 318i?. (what bhp is it?)


I didint know there were MV1's & MV2's, I love the MV2's, which would I be right in thinking they are on 330D model ?.

Mine is a DEC 1999 model SE, 118bhp .

Genuine MV2s I've seen always on facelift model sport models of 325/328/330 round here

No such thing as a facelift Sport 328. 328 was discontinued in 2000.

The MV2's replaced the MV1's as the standard fit 18 inch wheel for 6 cylinder (and 320d) Sport models in 2003.
 
MV2's are unfortunately the design favoured by the chavs with £500 E36's. Ebay is awash with replicas and they are now on every E36 Coupe in the world, ever :(
