How much does replacing a BMW 330I catalytic converter cost?

Someone stole the catalytic converter out of my parents' car the other night, and I’d like to help them get a new one. The only problem is, I’ve heard they’re very expensive. Can you tell me how much a BMC 33I catalytic converter costs?

Oh, no! The theft of catalytic converters has been on the rise, but it stinks that your family had to experience it first-hand. Unfortunately, you heard right: they’re pretty costly to replace. You’ll likely pay more than $2,000 for a

catalytic converter.
Catalytic converters are so expensive because rare and precious metals (like platinum) are used in their construction. On top of that, making catalytic converters isn’t easy, and companies have to hire specialized engineers to do the job. Any costs that the manufacturer incurs in production get passed on to you.
These days, supply chain issues caused by the pandemic are also impacting the cost of catalytic converters (and other car parts).
