On a budget which doesn't help..

I'll be getting one built when mine finally falls apart. Because the 318iS was only sold for 2 years in the UK there isn't much available. I think Supersprint and Jetex do a full system (or at least they used to), but I have no idea on cost.

You could try the US (all the 318i were M42 over there) but shipping would probably be a killer and make the genuine BMW part look cheap.

Fritz Bits in Taunton do an E30 M42 system (cat back) but it's £450.

I found a site that seems to sell Jetex and Supersport ones still. http://www.venommotorsport.com/products ... t-systems/
