Hi All,

Been following this forum since I bought my car last year, but this is my first post so nice to meet you all - some really useful information here which has helped get me out of a few sticky situations so thank you! :)

I have been looking to replace my stock exhaust system on my 318iS for a while now, and other than going the custom route, I have been unable to find a system tailored to the 318iS. Speaking to a few friends I was immediately directed to a company called Milltek, who have made a name for themselves in producing quality performance exhaust systems, particularly with VW/Audi's.

More interesting for us however is that Milltek have recently launched a 'classic' division (named Milltek Classic, funnily enough). At the moment their product line up isn't the most diverse (currently E36, Mk1/2 Golf GTI, and Audi Quattro), but after speaking with one of their reps it has come to light that they are planning on a range of exhaust systems for the E30 for the near future.

As the 318iS was a relatively low production model to begin with and only getting rarer by the day, I was told that they would consider developing a system if they could see enough of a demand for it, which is what inspired me to write this post.

So what are your thoughts? Would any of you be interested?

Nice to meet you mate, It wont happen though, like you say, low production and hardley any left it would not be worth Millteks time, maybe 325 but not the baby 318is engine :D

I definitely think the 325 and M3 are in the cards, but I'd also like to think that there are enough 318iS aficionados to warrant a run - we may be few in numbers but our enthusiasm makes up for it! :D

Because of the small numbers of iS, I bet the price won't be few in numbers :(
