KIMISS exhaust manifold gasket 18107502346
Product description
When an exhaust manifold gasket needs replacing, matching the part number matters more than choosing a kit with a longer feature list. The KIMISS exhaust manifold gasket set is listed as a replacement for OEM part 18107502346 and for BMW E36, E39, E46, E53, E70, E83 and E85 models. It includes two gaskets, making it a focused repair part rather than a broader exhaust-system kit.
The practical appeal is straightforward: replace a failed gasket without changing the manifold or attached turbo as well. Fitment still depends on the exact vehicle and part number.
Best use cases
This set is intended for replacing old or damaged exhaust manifold gaskets on a listed BMW model. For example, if a mechanic identifies a failed gasket during exhaust work, this is the kind of part to compare against the original before reassembly. The listing describes the installation as a direct replacement that needs no modification, but that does not remove the need to confirm the application first.
It suits you if you already know the required OEM number is 18107502346 and want the gaskets themselves rather than a more extensive repair kit. If you are diagnosing an exhaust issue, a gasket is only relevant when the fault has been traced to that joint, it is not a substitute for identifying the source of a leak or other problem.

The product description says the metal construction is intended to resist heat, oil and ageing, and to hold its shape. It does not provide dimensions, a metal grade or vehicle-year and engine details. Without that information, matching the part number on the existing gasket or in the vehicle’s parts information is the most useful check before ordering. The listed chassis names alone may not tell you whether every engine variant uses the same part.
Where it shines
Its narrow scope is an advantage if the repair calls for gaskets only: you can focus on replacing the failed sealing parts rather than buying a complete manifold assembly. That approach makes less sense if inspection shows damage elsewhere in the exhaust system, or if the repair requires components not included here. The description presents the set as OEM-spec and a direct fit, but gives no installation guide or further fitment breakdown, so a professional should still follow the vehicle-specific service procedure.
The two-piece format is useful when the repair calls for both gaskets, though the listing does not explain which exact joints they serve. That is worth clarifying against the vehicle and repair plan rather than assuming the set covers every connection. The description also claims leak-proof performance, treat that as the intended result of correct fitment and installation, not a guarantee independent of the condition of surrounding parts.
Final decision
Choose the KIMISS set when part number 18107502346 matches your repair and you need a metal gasket replacement for one of the listed BMW series. It is a more targeted buy than a complete manifold or exhaust kit, which may be preferable when the surrounding components are still serviceable. It isn't for you if you need confirmed engine- or year-specific compatibility, exact gasket dimensions, or a kit that includes other exhaust hardware, those details are not supplied. Confirm the part number before committing, especially if your vehicle has a variant not clearly identified in the listing.
