Milltek Classic has introduced another exhaust system specification for the E36 M3 3.0 and 3.2. Milltek says that the cars are becoming increasingly desirable – and valuable – causing owners to seek out effective, tasteful enhancements that will add to the vehicle’s value and originality. These systems will fit coupe, cabriolet and saloon models. The Milltek Classic range was launched for 2015 to provide exhaust solutions for affordable retro cars.

Having been at the very front of exhaust tuning for well over three decades, Milltek’s engineers have used their extensive experience to re-define and redesign a carefully chosen selection of newly engineered systems for key classic cars.
