Nice video. Lots of "M Performance Parts" stickers on the car.
Well I guess that's about all us Z4 street guys can get (stickers) as; "BMW Performance' has yet to offer ONE REAL PERFORMANCE ENHANCING PIECE OF HARDWARE FOR THE E89 - ARE YOU LISTENING BMW?? 1. BRAKE KITS 2. SUSPENSION PARTS 3. WHEELS 4. INTAKE & EXHAUST KITS 5. DIFFERENTIALS Win on Sunday (hopefully), sell on Monday (bring on the hardware). Now that you (BMW) have "anted up" the big corporate bucks to bring the Z4GT to ALMS - maybe you have a few bucks to flow out some real "BMW Performance" hardware to us loyal E89 Z4 owners.

Well 4 hrs into the 12 hrs at Sebring and the new Z4 GT's are running 2nd & 5th. Starting off a good debut race so far.
So they finish 4th & 7th after qualifing 8th & 9th. Too bad the 56 car had a mechanical failure of the LF strut which cost them 20 minutes in the pits . A podium finish was possible. Should be a good series.
