removed my old rotten exhaust today because I have bought a standard exhaust in good condition.

its a 89 235i with the 2 pipes.

What I am missing is the fitting kit which goes around the rear silencer/back box.. from pics they look like big jubilee clips which go all the way around the silencer and onto the rubber mounts.
I have the mounts but no clamps!

Also need the gasket which goes on the exhaust (in-between exhaust and manifold)

I also need the rubber mount which goes onto the centre hanger, as my one is perished.

Can anyone help? :D

Hi Ryan, your best bet would be to get these bit new, try somewhere like euro car parts, or gsf. I think I have even got them from BMW in the past they are not too expensive.

I got a load of all the necessary parts (and some I probably won't need but wanted to cover all possibilities) inc gaskets, new nuts/bolts, rubber mounts etc, from the dealers last week. £43 in total.

£53 !! :o

I only need the straps, I have the rubber mounts which are in good condition.

The straps are completely missing from my car, so that's the bit im not sure on as I dont really know what they look like.

The gasket and middle section mount shouldnt be too much of a problem to get, its just these strap parts on the rear box!

Try these.............

I know it says they're for a 318, but they might do?

Could anyone confirm that what grantfk10 posted are the correct parts I need?
