removing the catalytic converter will give you about a 10-15% power gain problems is with most the newer car there all obdII and if you take the converter off you will set a check engine light and the computer of the car will still try to fix the fuel air ratio which will kill your gas mileage if you want the power gain and still be able to pass emissions and have no fuel map problems get a 3" high flow converter it would be like removing the stock 1

Can removing emissions equipment improve gas mileage?

If you removed ALL emissions equipment, the question would be hard to answer, in theory anyway. Removing individual equipment such as your Catalytic Converter would improve exahaust flow and improve gas mileage. Removing your Oxygen Sensor would most likely decrease gas mileage because the Oxygen Sensor helps control the air/fuel mixture.

How do you improve fuel economy on a BMW?

The best way to improve fuel economy it make sure your tire are inflated to the factory specification (there should be a tire information placard on one of the doors). Beyond that, making the engine breath better will also have marginal benefits. You can try installing a less restrictive air intake system, and an exhaust system with wider pipes. If you live in a state or country that does not do emissions testing, then you can remove the catalytic converter(s), which are a huge restriction. If your car has to go through emissions testing, then there are hi-flow converters that may work. The above answer is correct except the part about removing the catalytic converter. First of all removing the catalytic converter is illegal. Secondly modern engines equipped with fuel management systems will not run properly with the catalytic converter removed. Do not, remove your catalytic converter.
