The Redback MCV049 is a manifold catalytic converter listed to fit the BMW 5 Series from 2000 — an integrated manifold-and-converter assembly for one of the higher-value applications in this range.
The MCV049 brings the exhaust manifold and the catalytic converter together into one assembly. On a BMW of this era the converter sits close to the engine and is part of a precise emissions setup, so a tired converter or a cracked manifold is renewed as a unit. Redback lists no bore or material for it, and we don't put figures to those.
It's listed to fit the BMW 5 Series from 2000. The 5 Series ran several engines and the supplier doesn't publish the engine on this listing, so we treat the match as listed-to-fit and confirm it carefully against your VIN before this higher-value part is ordered.
This is the catalytic-converter assembly, so fitting it keeps the 5 Series' emissions hardware in place rather than removing it. Passing inspection still depends on the condition of the full system, which we check on the hoist. We make no compliance claim the supplier hasn't stated.
Oak Flats Muffler Men fits 5 Series manifold-cats in-house across the Illawarra. Given the value, we confirm the listing against your VIN before ordering, then free the old assembly, fit fresh gaskets and sensors as needed, and check the downstream join. RRP is listed at 1189 AUD; labour is quoted on inspection.
