Hiya so I ended up buying a gasket set from eurocarparts for the 325i. But the only gaskets that were right were the intake manifold and exhaust manifold gaskets. The throttle body gasket opening was a bit too small in diameter, and the rocker cover gasket was completely different. Are there different heads on the 325i or smaller throttle bodys?

I also ordered a exhaust manifold gasket from BMW using realoem and that also turned out to be wrong. Does anyone know the correct part number for the gasket to the downpipe.

Looks like you have a gasket set for a M20B20

It did say 325i on the packaging and since I already put the intake gaskets on, I wasn't able to return it. So I'll have to order a replacement rocker cover gasket and throttle body gasket.

Does anyone know about the exhaust gasket

I do, I had the same issue - I bought the one for my car on realoem but it was wrong - John from Cotswold found the right one for my car -
sorry can't find the part number right now - I'll have a look!
