Replacing back box flanges

**TMAQ** · 02-12-2009, 04:01 PM

My car has just been in for a spec II, the engineer noticed that one of the connecting flanges [item 18 on the link], connecting the back box has a small fracture, its not leaking at the moment but want to get it sorted/replaced all the same. Anyone recently had to get this looked at or can give advice? likely the old flanges will need to be cut off and the new ones welded on? this is not something BMW can do, i've been told
