which catalytic converter for 325e body with 325i engine

[Zesty Bonanza]

I have a 325e body with a 325i engine and I need to replace the catalytic converters to pass California smog test. I was looking at http://www.turnermotorsport.com/BMW-...onverters.aspx but don't know if I need the one made for the 325e or for the 325i. Please help. Thanks!

You really should go to your local muffler shop and get the California specified one installed for your vehicle. If you purchase one from an on-line source, it may not be legal.

Your car has an i exhaust system on it. (I installed it). I can't remember if the cat was OEM or not so I'd suggest taking a look under the car before buying anything.

Thank you for the info, MR 325.

So the 50-state legal catalytic converters online may not be actually legal in California?

Usually they specify that its 48 legal and not even allowed for sale in CA. So even if you tried to order it, they may not ship it to your CA address.

You can go to SummitRacing.com and do a filter on CA legal cats.
