where can i buy a replacement besides the dealer? realoem doesnt even show it or a part number. while replacing my downpipe i damaged it :-( and now i have an exhaust leak

 

not sure which part you are talking about but i just looked at realoem and they show all the gaskets needed for the exhaust system. That was looking up a 2008 R56 S.

BY the way it would also help us if you were to tell us the year and model of your car as there are some differences is between the Non-S and S models and also from 2010 to 2011 there were a bunch of changes.

 

I dont see why you dont go to the dealer.. i bought one there and it was like.. $20 if not less.

 

Dealer quoted me 30$. I have a 08 S

 

Tell them you have a wholesale account. Your year doesnt make it cost more.

Ask for the part number at mini.. google bmw #(insert part number) and bam youll find it.

I mean $30 isnt that bad.. but to each their own.

 

If that's my option I guess I'll take it. I wasn't really complaining about the price but more so the ease of purchase. Order online and bam, its in my house in several days. Oh well

 

Does anyone have the part number they can post? I need one of these too but can't find the PN on Realoem.

 

Gasket - 18307589503. Paid $10.

I also replaced the clamp, Stud bolts and nuts when I had my DP replaced with the Akrapovic DP.

 

Bought mine from the dealer.24 bucks or something

 

I don't think that's the gasket. it shows that it's the gasket from turbo to downpipe. I'm looking for the downpipe to exhaust.

 

I think you are talking about the one that goes along with the V-clamp, if so the gasket you are looking for comes with it and you can't get it by itself. MINI part # 18-30-2-756-352 for the V-clamp and all. Just got one a month ago. $15.13 + tax. But I did call 2 different dealerships, one wanted $28 and the other wanted $15. In the end the one that was $15 was 85 mi. away vs. 44 mi. for the $28 one. I got the parts guy to ship it to me, cost me shipping but I didn't have 3 hr. drive time + gas to go get it.

 

Mini of south atlanta has them online for 15.13 plus shipping. I just ordered some nuts from them for around 40 cents a piece. My dealer wanted 2.80 each. It was still cheaper with the shipping.

 

Awesome. Thanks guys!!!

 

In 2024, they want over $70 for this gasket.

 

What gasket are talking about for $70 dollars
​​​​​

 

The gasket between the turbo and downpipe. Called my local Mini to get a price and they were over $70.

 

$36 & free shipping

At that price for genuine Mini clamp, I would replace any time I need to disconnect that exhaust joint.
