Why are MV2's ?

Post by NickDE » Sun Dec 25, 2016 11:25 am

So I asked this question, but didn't get a clear answer. Possibly because the question was posted off topic at the bottom of an unrelated thread.

Why are MV2's called MV2's? It's not the official BMW name for them, so where did it come from ?

Think they got the name due to style of spokes being m and v shaped. As said these are second generation.
