    Replacement Exhaust-Manifold Flanges???

    Hi. I have a 2009 128i. My mechanic told me that the flanges connecting my exhaust manifold and my catalytic converter assembly have worn out--are paper thin--and will have to be replaced. Can you recommend any that will fit?

    (My mechanic, who specializes in BMWs, is skeptical that aftermarket ones will fit. He informs me that originals ones cannot be purchased separately from the catalytic converter assembly. SO any actual experience with replacement flanges would be greatly valued.)

    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Those are not flanges but gaskets.

    Thanks, but I'm pretty sure it's the flanges that are the issue. (The gaskets have already been replaced.)
