I have to say that the coupes look great with MV2.

Not that I would want a coupe :poke:

Agree Mv2 are for E46's . I removed mine for CSL 's. As for the Mv's i think they are easy to clean compared to my Csl 's !

I'll go against the grain as I bought my roadster with the MV2s and think they look great! :thumbsup: They do take a bit longer to clean but if you keep on top of it, it's not too much work each time. Although I'm yet to take them off to get right into the nooks!

I'm in the market for a refurb for them as well as they're a bit knocked about from previous owner.

CSLs - now I hadnt thought of them.... maybe that could be an option 5???

Can you get CSLs in 18s?

With sars on this, though I had to google mv3 ...

Couldn't find graphite ones anywhere though.

Adamski, these are the nuts :thumbsup: But they're not cheap, ESP if you need them refurbed...

MV2s are pretty easy to clean IMO - you just need an alloy brush. When clean just get some decent rim wax and cleaning them afterwards is a doddle.

MV2s look classy on the Z4 IMO. (Some wheels make the car look really chavvy).

Think my brush is an EZ Kleene / Clean. Cleans all the flat bits inside the alloy too
