Their brake problems, in the end, don't sound that much different than ours. The brakes definitely have a higher tolerance, but for serious track work, they aren't enough. That made me feel a bit better about the Z.
This is exactly why a full AP Racing front/rear system was done for those guys as well:

Problem solved (even if BMW wasn't the one to solve it)!
