Prices for BMW Catalytic Converters & Identifying Them

BMW Catalytic Converters – Scrap Price & Identifying
When replacing catalytic converters on your vehicle, the price can get expensive. To help offset your costs, you could always recycle your BMW catalytic converter off your vehicle for scrap value. It would be standard that if you bought your BMW vehicle brand new, you would have an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) converter on your vehicle. This will be helpful when checking the prices on your scrap BMW catalytic converter.
If you’re not sure if your catalytic converter is original to the car, there are some very simple things you can look for to help identify if it’s an aftermarket converter.
Identify Your BMW Catalytic Converter
When manufacturing their catalytic converters, BMW does a great job with their logo stamped on the unit for easy identification, as you can see below. They will almost always be accompanied by a serial number that is very easy to read. If you’re unsure, you can always send pictures to our team to help get you a price quote.

Trouble Finding Serial Numbers on BMW Converter?
If you are having trouble finding the serial number on the unit, grab a piece of steel wool and start rubbing away the corrosion on the unit. Depending on where you live, some of the units have extra corrosion from wear and tear if you have salt on the roads during the winter.
