The Genuine BMW S55 Downpipe Gasket – Catalytic Converter Side (18307851168) is the OEM exhaust gasket that seals the catalytic converter side of the downpipe on the BMW F80 M3, F82/F83 M4 and F87 M2 Competition fitted with the S55 twin-turbo engine. Manufactured to BMW's original specifications, this genuine replacement gasket ensures a gas-tight seal and prevents exhaust leaks at this critical joint.
Exhaust gaskets are single-use sealing components. Once the downpipe is removed, the original gasket is compressed, heat-soaked and no longer able to guarantee a reliable seal. For this reason, BMW specialists strongly recommend fitting a new gasket whenever the downpipe is removed or replaced – including when installing a sport or decat downpipe.
Whether you're fitting an aftermarket downpipe, carrying out an exhaust repair or refreshing a factory system, a genuine BMW gasket helps ensure a leak-free joint and long-term reliability.
Key Features
- Genuine BMW OEM S55 downpipe exhaust gasket
- BMW part number: 18307851168
- Seals the catalytic converter side of the downpipe
- Prevents exhaust gas leaks at the downpipe joint
- Direct replacement for the factory gasket
- Manufactured to BMW OEM specifications
- Heat and pressure resistant
- Ideal when fitting sport or decat downpipes

Essential During Downpipe Replacement
The downpipe gasket provides the sealing surface that keeps the exhaust joint gas-tight under high heat and pressure.
Benefits include:
- Leak-free exhaust connection
- Correct sealing at the catalytic converter side
- Quieter, properly sealed exhaust
- Secure exhaust assembly
- OEM-quality fitment
A Single-Use Sealing Component
Exhaust gaskets are designed to be replaced once disturbed, as they are subjected to:
- Extreme heat cycles
- High exhaust pressure
- Compression on installation
- Corrosion and age
Replacement is recommended whenever the downpipe is removed, a decat or sport downpipe is fitted, or exhaust repairs are carried out.
Genuine BMW OEM Quality
Unlike generic alternatives, genuine BMW gaskets are manufactured to the exact standards required by the S55 exhaust system.
- Factory-correct dimensions
- Reliable high-temperature sealing
