Call a mechanic and check. Some BMW's CAN'T use aftermarket cats or they'll throw TONS of codes. I think it should be OK on an E36, but call an independent mechanic and run it by them just to double check.

93 is OBDI. It won't throw codes for the cat even if you remove it. Just buy 2 universals and cut the old ones out and have the new ones welded in.
