Exhaust System

1987 BMW L7 (E23) L6-3430cc 3.4L SOHC (M30)SECTION Exhaust System

The exhaust system must be inspected and tightened at every oil change interval. The catalytic converter can be checked by "shaking" the exhaust system and listening for loose or broken converter parts. Any leaks in the system will influence the exhaust emissions.
