There was a guy on m42club.com that did a buildup using the OBX manifold on his m42 318is. He still had to make an adapter for it to clear the passenger-side motor mount as a bottom mount. Not sure if they're worth the money vs. the "revised" M50 cheapo manifold..

the turbo header for the 6 cyl ($99 USD on ebay )can be cut to remove the two last tubes and then welded shut. itfits the m44 block perfectly. also i recommend the airesearch m11 turbo charger for z3 owners as this will fit your car without too much incident.
