Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.

Pay attention the Broadwell info in the FAQ. It is important.

Thanks is lots of cross linked walls of text, i you already read it, you could answer me..

But ok, why not waste some time and try to reinvent a wheel... hmm, its not working, i still have a questions:
1) Its BCM94352HMB still best Wifi choice?
2) Where i check is my notebook has or hasnt whitelisted bios- is there some DB, i googled it, for my model
but i didnt find nothing.
3) Still not Intel Wifi support?
4) Its info about Broadwell graphics support in early stage, still actual? As far i know some Mac books already using Core M CPUs.

1) Its BCM94352HMB still best Wifi choice?

One of the best. Of course, your WiFi card may be M.2-2230 (NGFF). You should check.
There are others with better compatibility, but often require installation of different antennas... Of course that depends on which card is already installed in your laptop and which antennas it uses.

2) Where i check is my notebook has or hasnt whitelisted bios- is there some DB, i googled it, for my model
but i didnt find nothing.

You will find out when you install the new WiFi hardware.

3) Still not Intel Wifi support?

Correct. Apple doesn't use that WiFi hardware.

4) Its info about Broadwell graphics support in early stage, still actual? As far i know some Mac books already using Core M CPUs.

Broadwell is mostly supported, provided you set DVMT-prealloc as required by the Apple drivers.

I dont have DVMT-prealloc settings in my UEFI / BIOS does it mean that video acceleration will not work?

I have now - Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 , so what is the best choice of wifi?

There might be other ways you can set it.
Or you will need to try the minStolenSize patch.

The most commonly used card around here is BCM94352Z or BCM94252HMB depending on the form factor required.
