They look similar to supersprint and status gruppe but both the aforementioned headers have 1 welded flange, 1 floating flange, whereas these are both floating. And this has no nameplate. Maybe fabspeed? Update: fabspeed also has a nameplate whereas these are no name. Agency power too. I'm stumped.

nah csl headers look like euro headers iirc. I think they're fabspeed without the nameplates.

Any benefits to these over a set of OEM euros?

CSL? it's a tiny bit lighter.
Fabspeed? rear o2 bungs and egt sensor bung is welded into the header, so that it's a bolt on replacement for us headers.

who says these even have to be a premium brand header? nowadays there's so many flavors of the generic 'eBay' headers from JVT (SS reps), Megan, Manzo, etc.

Could be. But I did check all of those earlier today, they look different. I compared the locations of the bungs, welds, and bends in the pipes.

Depending on how old these are, there have been at least a dozen versions of generics on eBay over the years. I’m not definitively saying these are one of them. But I don’t see how you can be so sure they’re not when after attempting to rule out many of the major brands, you’re still “stumped” -- just seems pointless and random exercise at best.

Definitely NOT OEM BMW of any sort - check out what used sets look like in prior classifieds.

No name brand for a roll the dice price, your mileage may vary...
