Hi,
325i '89, front section of 2-part system has (finally) gone after 28 years!
This item seems rare, I think part may be 18101719068 (using realoem), but diagrams don't show the single flange with 4 fixings that I have, so unsure if this is right.
Even so seems this item seems pretty-much unavailable now.
If you know either:
a) Where I could get the front part of a 2-part exhaust for the car
or
b) The wiki suggests that a 3-part could replace the whole of the 2 part system but I'm unsure the flange to the manifold would fit as it suggests there are 2 sizes. Any experience or advice?

Thanks
