number of exhaust gaskets
 
hello all, am in the process of replacing drive shaft. in removing exhaust I broke all 4 bolts on exhaust flange and ended up removing exhaust manifold so as to get access to broken bolts w torch. I noticed there was a total of 4 gaskets on manifold - 2 per side. is this correct? pelican parts calls for only 2. btw this is a 97 bmw 318ti m42. I am ordering parts tomorrow, any feedback would be appreciated. also pelican parts only shows studs for m44, are these the same for the m42 as well? thank you all , reading all the posts on driveshaft replacement has helped me tremendously. this forum is the best !

Was a M42 swapped into your 97 or is it actually a M44? the 97 came stock with M44's. :confused:

ok I think I figured out what happened. the gasket split in 2 ( both of them ), making total of 4 instead of 2. oh well live and learn.
