Hi and welcome by the way.
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
