[BigAl]

Welcome Phil, Enjoy the forum, I think you will find that the wheels are BMW MV2 alloys, nice car

[shildy]

thank you guys, and cheers for that info on the wheels BigAl, do u kno the specs on them wheels?

and am i right in thinking its the e46?

[Snypa-D]

Yup its an E46 :)

[mart77]

they are mv1's

Welcome to the club matey

[shildy]

cheers guys, silly question, how can u work out of thier mv1 or mv2?

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

Pedal stiffness is caused by either a poor throttle-cable (perished or "kinked") or the return spring on the throttle-body...

Welcome aboard ;)

cheers guys, silly question, how can u work out of thier mv1 or mv2?

Sorry Phil they are MV1's, the difference is that the MV2's look like your alloys, but the spokes are similar to Snypa-D's if that makes sense
