M60 exhaust manifold/y-pipe doughnuts

[84318i]

Hi,

I wanted to replace these old gasket/doughnuts on the left with new so I've ordered PN#

Part #3 - 18301728734

Old one, and new one. Are they supposed to compress THAT much or is the old one made differently and no longer for sale?

Replacement appears to be incorrect part. I'd contact seller, send that exact photo and say you received wrong flange gasket

Was ordered by the part number form autohausaz , I am asking if anyone else has actually replaced these recently if they arrive like the one in the photo ?

I found the same thing. My new ones came from a Victor Rienz head gasket set and they look the same as the new BMW one you've got pictured. I used my new ones and have not had an issue - no sign/sound of leaking. Yours look like a different diameter in the picture - is that the case? If so, you might have the wrong item.

Yeah it's going to be fun trying to prove to autohaus that the part doesn't fit ...they have 3 exhaust / muffler seal rings listed on their site when you navigate by car (1995 540) and out if the 3 parts the 18 30 1 728 734 is the only one listed as exhaust manifold to catalytic converter and the part number is matching with what Realoem shows as well.
