Exhaust Bracket

[Low Rider]

I took my Z3 2.2 Sport to a garage to get it on the hydraulic ramps as one of the brackets had come lose or so I thought any way the net result is a new bracket is required

And below is how it should look
B18.30.7.500.077 Top Long Bracket

B18.30.1.433.551 Bottom Short Bracket

B07.11.9.905.974 M8x60 Hex Bolt

Ah, the good old BMW gearbox exhaust bracket, a very good seller Steve. At least it's an easy fix mate.

Tony.

ps. I wouldn't get too close to that Ravaglioli ramp if I was you, what cheap crap.

Other than a BMW dealer do you have any ideas where to purchase these brackets from

That's an expensive strip of metal!
I need the same I noticed when I was changing my oils...

Let me know if you find a supplier at the right price

My lass works in a scrap yard might take my old one off, send it in with her and get one of the lads to make me one...

I've found the lower bracket
Ebay number 171726435802

Mine broke a couple of months back and went all though this. Those ones on ebay are listed wrong. There for a E36 saloon 2.8 which have a smaller diameter pipe hence. It don't fit. The Z's have biģger pipes. Just had to be brave in the end and got it from the dealer. I think ive still got the ebay ones at the back of the garage which you welcome to try but i think they won't fit.

I would be interested to know how much the genuine parts cost please Andy

It's will be an easy fix Tony as soon as I've purchased the brackets I'll give them to the garage to fit.

Mine broke on my 2.2 and I never bothered to replace it, think it was like it for a couple of years.

Just give Sopers a ring, they will tell you the price and they give discount and don't usually charge postage.

The garage told me not to bother to.

I'll look into it tomorrow Steve. But, bear in mind after market ones will not be as good quality as genuine BMW.

Tony.

 

[Low Rider]

Agreed Tony. Looking at the one's on ebay you can see that

 

[t-tony]

The main point of this bracket is to take some of the stress of the studs on the front flange, and also stops the exhaust flexing. I see many BMW's without them though.

Tony.

ps. Off to Newark, catch you later mate.

 

[Low Rider]

OK mate

You clearly didn't heed my post of Feb 15th Steve under the heading "Fractured Exhaust on 2002 1.9". the bracket stops the downpipe fracturing at the manifold flange.
