Bought these second-hand to install with supercharger but they did not fit the M coupe and I ended up going with CPI headers. Previous owner said he purchased them as e46 M3 headers to be used in his e30 S54 swap. I thought the Z4M and the M3 headers were identical so not sure why they didn't fit. They appear to be unmodified and in great shape, possibly even unused. Paid $500 for them.

This was the note from the tech when he was trying to install them:

They don't line up at the cylinder head off by 1-2”

M3 and Z4M headers are the same, these are probably bent hence being (1-2") off.....that's a big amount...

Yeah plus I'm wondering how you'd accidentally bend these 1-2" without them cracking. Sorry you had to deal with this NotAJock. Any luck getting your money back from the original seller? I don't see how these are worth anything now. Though visually I don't see where they are bent.

The seller said he never modified them but he bought them second-hand as well and did not know if they had been modified before that.

Was able to find the pics sent to me by the tech during the install showing the original headers side by side.

I had bought MK Motorsport Headers made for the E46 M3 but they didnt fit my Z either.

Certain headers seem to be cross compatible others I guess are not.
