Euro Bb

Euro bb will let you fit all mtb cranksets and BB's. Most road ones too (the ones with english thread, not italian thread) but I don't think you care about that ^_^

As far as BMX cranks go, you obviously need a euro bb crankset. I advice to get some with a 19mm axle as it will leave more space compared to 22mm axles, this way bigger bearings can be placed.

Make sure you bb shell is faced and retapped before installing your new bb.

Then any 19mm euro cranks.

Primo hollowbites are around £100 now. Think they come in 19mm too.

You meant 22mm, i know.

Depends on the width of the shell too. Some bmx cranks struggle to fit well on mtbs due to the axle not being long enough. And i think chainstays tend to stick further out on mtbs meaning more spindle/ axle spacers required.

You can get 3-piece mtb specific crank sets with bb and everything. Or you could just purchase some Raceface/ Middleburns or whatever and get a cheap FSA bb to see you through.
