Have you actually taken yours out on the track, or are you just repeating what you've heard elsewhere?

Remember for a lot of people its not about going out on the track to be competitive, its just for fun. Going out on the track in ANY car is worth the experience to push the car to the limit in a safe environment. At the end of the day, learning how to drive properly on the track will make you a better driver on the street.

Most production cars have issues with brake fade when pushed hard on the track. Simply replace the pads with Hawk mixed used pads and use a fluid with a higher boiling temp will resolve this rather inexpensively.

If you're more serious about tracking the Z4, the suspension can be upgraded to the point where the car feels very well balanced. See this thread: http://e89.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=879624
