Hi and welcome by the way. :thumbsup:

I would try to find a BMW Specialist as they will be more familiar with Z4s, and may have more specific diagnostic equipment - plus it will be much cheaper than using a main dealer!

If you give an idea of where you are, I'm sure someone will be able to give recommendations.

Think you might want to re-read forum rules and put this in the right section as well. :)

...in which case you are actually asking for an entire exhaust manifold as the cats are built into them.

If you need a Indy in the Newcastle area try Plough Motors at Boldon. Have used him several times and has changed my sensors
