Do a lot of research as it is hit or miss with these types of headers....not just for BMW's, but for any cars with an aftermarket offering.

My personal experience over the years was when it came to headers, get the best fitting pair you can. I've done dozens of header installs across different platforms, and I swear the install on my 128i ranks up there with some of the most aggravating ones I've done. Just not much room to work in.

Roundelwerk headers at minimum

AA headers suggested as that offers best medium between not too cheap and not too expensive (Supersprints!)

I just installed some AA headers on my XI. You definitely want header that fit properly.

Modifying the cat back sections are one thing, modding headers is a pain.
