The question is: what exactly is necessary to fit some 135/335 DPs on the Z4?
I have read about the rear (to MPs) flanges...
Only that?

Well I have Eisenmann and it is Downpipe back exhaust. OEM downpipes remian intact (which have the most restrictive factor due to cats).

I'm still waiting for someone to finally develop DPs for us. Recently I went to **********s to buy and install KW coilover set and talked to sales people and owner of the place. They insured me that they will contact AR and some other places to push development of DPs for our Z4 community.

This history is getting old...
Seriously thinking to fit some 135/335 DPs by (a quite easy) cut and weld work on them...

Just someone give a car to AR Design so they can fabricate a pair of downpipes for us! These guys have the best downpipes for the N54 engine and they are asking for someone to lend them a car so the can get the production started for a long time now.

There is a minimal amount of rocket science involved. Essentially just plumbing.
Need to find a wreck Z4, buy the oem primaries and ship them to AR to replicate the oe bolted interface planes from the Z4 onto their N54 DPs.
