A M.2/M Key to PCIe Half Mini adapter may be possible
Likely, a PCIe to PCIe Half Mini adapter is your only Coffee Lake/Broadcom solution.
Yeap, I think is the only way rather than the single PCI-E .

Cheers!
 
Yes, I guess is bad news because I tried with the Bcm94352z Dell DW1560 and the card was not recognized!

Did you try taping the WiFi & BT disable pins 56 & 54 .... as i had to do when fitting DW1830 see my post here without taping the card was not seen on the PCIe bus ... worth a try.

Use a sharp Knife (or scalpel) to cut some slim slithers of tape and put them over those pins/lines .. follow the link in my post for more info (about half way down the post)

Cheers

@KevinAgnes,

If you can fit a half hight (or full) PCIe card in your case then you could go for one of these :-

I recently fitted one in my desk top hack ... AC WiFi and BTLE4.1 worked like a charm OTB no additional kext's or patches needed as its a native Apple card.

Good option right now for desktops
Cheers

Thanks for the tip! For the moment I use a GPU but it´s a good option for the future.

I will try that! :)

Yes.
Unlikely a M.2/M Key to M.2/E Key adapter will ever exist
