Advice on new cat
I’d look for one from a breakers before I considered that bonkers pricekowsmou wrote: ↑Sat Dec 09, 2017 5:56 pm Hi,
I'm in a position where I'm probably going to have to change the cat on my car. It's a 2.0 on a 57 plate. The garage I went to was superb but said he couldn't source an aftermarket one. He said it will be £1200 fitted if he buys it from BMW.
Can anyone suggest a cheaper alternative?

What is the reason for the change? We talking primary or secondary cat? I know my breaker friend has just broken a facelift 2.0.

I’d go to an exhaust shop and get a sports cat or similar fabricated for less than that

If you have a 2.0l I belive no boddy makes a replacement manifold cat, its only made by BMW.
Sorry to say.
You've no doubt got error code Po420 .
Its not allways the cat.it could be vacuum related or maf related.

I reccomend an east end cat, she will claw you in the face just for looking at her the wrong way.
