There is another one with a very similar ID to the BCM94352Z (can't remember it now). It's on a list floating around the internet by applelife.ru somewhere. It can only be obtained through Lenovo spare parts for a certain device or off a Chinese distributor (be careful with these guys, they might lie about supplies!). Unfortunately this card has half the speed of the BCM94352Z.
I haven't seen any confirmation of it working on OS X. Someone on a certain other forum has bought one but I haven't seen if he's received it yet. The BCM94352Z does pop up on eBay from time to time.
I kept checking daily and managed to snag one for $80 (expensive!). That's probably your best bet for an OS X compatible NGFF M.2 card right now (again, stay away from aliexpress etc, I've had 'confirmation' from a German seller that they are lying about supply numbers, the BCM94352Z is an engineering sample and only about 100 were originally made). The list alex is referring to is at: Sofar only the BCM94352Z is relatively available, its a 2x2 866mbit card. Note however this card is only E key!
This means it does not fit in all laptops. Its fully compatible with OS X for both WiFi and Bluetooth (FakePCIID and BrcmPatchRAM required). Also it supports handoff and continuity (clover patch required). I have heard of one person being able to order the BCM943162ZP which is A+E key.
But as mentioned its 1x1 and thus 433mbit maximum. He has not received it yet, but lets see if it works in OS X once he does. The BCM94356Z is the one to look out for, its 1 year newer, key A+E and has Bluetooth 4.1 However no-one has gotten their hands on it yet, so its untested with OS X. Watch your laptop white-listing though! Not all laptops support all cards. The BCM94352Z is not slowly coming available through other manufacturers such as Lenovo. Also the new Dell XPS 9343 has the Dell DW1560 NGFF card which is a BCM94352Z.

Also the new Dell XPS 9343 has the Dell DW1560 NGFF card which is a BCM94352Z. I contacted dell for the DW1560 it is not available at the moment as a spare part and is priced at $18.99 I wonder if the supplies will open up in a couple of months another part number for the same DW1560 is 06XRYC Please post here if you find an alternate route than eBay $80. Darkvoid, how can I tell what kind of NGFF card my laptop has?
It comes with an Intel AC3160. How do I check dimensions of these cards and if they are A+K? Where can I find DW1560? IF nothing now, is there a nano wifi dongle that will be detected as airport? Check the model number on the card:. Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160. 3160 HMW 802.11ac, 1x1, Bluetooth 4.0, PCIe, USB, HMC.
3160 NGW 802.11ac, 1x1, Bluetooth 4.0, PCIe, USB, M.2 2230. 3160 SDW 802.11ac, 1x1, Bluetooth 4.0, PCIe, USB, M.2 2226 Solder Down DW1560 is not available yet. But you can find a around for between $60 to $80.

No, there is no nano USB which behaves like a native airport.
