i have bm328xi 2008 n52 engine it's been throwing codes P0420 P0430 with the service engine soon light in February I replaced catalytic converters and one of the O2 sensors and I replace the camshaft sensor and the crankshaft sensor and I replace the gasket valve cover because it was leaking and I replace the electrical water pump and the thermostat and I replaced a mass air flow sensor and from a month ago I did a smoke test and found two leaks so I put new seals did the test again no leaks were found
and I replaced the spark plugs and coils last year
Is your Catalytic converter OEM?
maybe you need to change both upstream sensors.
I would wonder what lead to this road? Normally catalytic converters just don't go bad, for they are made to last the lifetime of the vehicle, so something lead to it's early demise.
Also sound like you are just throwing parts at this car, what diagnostic tool are you using to read codes?
