They're $600 or so cheaper (although AA includes a new hardware kit so the difference is even more), nobody can answer what it takes to make them fit on a Z4 because AA hasn't come out with Z4 headers yet. And if you're asking if anyone has taken 128i AA headers for a Z4 -- you would be the first.

I found a good shop in eurowise that can do the job. I'm ordering next week plus the tune.

AA didn't confirm fitment. The shop will have to modify it. They already make custom exhaust and headers for euros.

Sounds good, take plenty of pics!

+1 for pics
I think the modification will be to extend the N52 e9x e8x header to mate with z4 middle pipe

AA headers for the N52 make power, are built in south east Asia, and don't currently have a fitment for the N52 Z4 that I'm aware of.

Supersprint is made in Italy, has a direct Z4 fitment, likely makes more power(but that's simply going off every other experience with them), and has zero drone.

schmiedmann makes headers too -
MMW headers are crap all around. The secondaries look MASSIVE - that has to kill exhaust gas velocity and power.

Any update on your exhaust?
