Cheap BMW i3 Exhaust Manifold

No — the BMW i3 is a fully electric vehicle (BEV) and has no internal combustion engine, so it has no exhaust manifold, exhaust system, catalytic converter, or DPF of any kind. This applies to every variant of the i3 sold in the UK, including the i3 and i3s across all years of production (2013–2022). If you think you need an exhaust-related part, it is worth double-checking that your vehicle is actually a BMW i3 and not a different BMW model, as no such part was ever fitted to this car.

The i3 REx (Range Extender) variant does have a small two-cylinder petrol range-extender engine, which means it does have a basic exhaust system including a manifold — unlike the standard all-electric i3. If your vehicle is an i3 REx, you should confirm the exact engine code and year of your car with the breaker, as the REx is a relatively rare and specific variant and parts availability from dismantlers is limited. Never assume a part from a standard i3 will apply, and always verify against your registration.

The i3 REx used a small BMW-developed two-cylinder petrol engine throughout its production run, but you should confirm with the breaker whether the exact engine code and specification matches your registration before purchasing, as even minor running changes can affect fitment. The i3 REx was available in the UK from around 2014 and continued until BMW discontinued the REx option, so there is a reasonable production span to consider. Do not assume all REx manifolds are interchangeable across all years without the breaker verifying part numbers against your specific vehicle.

For the standard all-electric i3, trim level is completely irrelevant — no trim level, whether base, Suite Edition, or i3s, ever had an exhaust manifold, because none had a combustion engine. The only variant where trim or specification matters is the i3 REx, where the presence of the range-extender engine is the deciding factor, not trim name. If you have an i3 REx, confirm your engine code and build year with the breaker rather than relying on trim level alone.

Almost certainly yes, if your car is the standard all-electric i3 — it has no combustion engine and therefore no exhaust manifold exists on the vehicle. It is possible there has been a data-entry or search error, and you may wish to check whether you have actually searched for a different part or a different vehicle. If you own the rare i3 REx range-extender variant, an exhaust manifold does exist, so in that case contact the breaker and confirm the part against your registration number to be sure.
