Just a thought has anyone used these tyres on a Z4
When I had my Westfield I used the 032 Yokohamas and the grip is in another league to normal road tyres, just thinking out loud really

Not personally on a Z4, but you'll have to remember to get the 'E marked' (road legal) ones - which are significantly more expensive the 'non-E marked'.

They'll definitely grip well though - and I loved having proper track rubber (P-Zero C, Silverstone S585, Toyo R888, and a Dunlop one I can't remember) on my E34 M5 (great for scaring Caterwesticals through Craners).

For that sort of price, you might as well get Pilot Sport Cup 2 or P-Zero Corsa, or P-Zero Trofeo, or Nankang NS2-Rs (half the price, but probably last half as long), or even the newer Yoko A052.

It does help that you can get a spare set in the back of an e34, as you tend to leave the track with rear tyres like this...

had a look at Federal 595 RSRs? cheap and very grippy, and the set on the rear of my zed has done 7 full trackdays and only looks about half worn.

mytyres seem to have them the cheapest at the moment, tyreleader also stock the entire range.
