My BMW has been behaving sluggishly lately. Plus the exhaust is black and smells terrible. I’m thinking that my catalytic converter is bad. How much would it cost to replace one of those?

Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that you’re having performance and exhaust issues with your
BMW
! Based on what you’ve described, it does indeed sound like the catalytic converter may be the problem. If you have to replace the converter, it’s usually going to cost between $2,500 and $3,000.
Because of the steep cost, replacing the catalytic converter should be your last resort. First, take the car to a mechanic so they can confirm that the converter is the issue. They’ll also be able to tell you if there’s any hope of repairing your catalytic converter.
Depending on what caused the catalytic converter to go bad, there’s always a chance that your
car insurance
might help cover the cost of repairs.
And if not, you might still be able to save some money by switching your car insurance to a more affordable policy. Drivers who use
