Default Exhaust clamps

While I'm at my brake refurb I noticed the clamps on the exhaust where they attach to the back box r badly corroded and one is broken. Can these clamps be bought on there own or just with the exhaust ?

The easiest and cheapest fix is to use Peugeot clamps. If you do a quick search there are quite a few threads with info.
The Peugeot clamps are readily available on ebay. You only need to do one side, the side where the clamp doesn't come off without grinding it off.
On the other side you can use new oem clamps and gasket.

Mine needs doing too,luckily it's the one nearest the wheel,which as you said Steve,just slides off and you can use an OE BMW one,The inside one is a bugger to do and needs cutting and welding the new OE clamp,or take the Cutter approach and go Peugoet
