But my question is: I noticed the first entry describing this problem is about 2 years old... has a solution ever been offered by BMW? Has anyone proposed a 'fix'?

I love the car and can deal with it (I'm married), but still...
Nothing yet, Jim is also on another forum and the only thing that I suggested is if someone was to try comparing the backing plates from a A90 Supra to the Z4 as they appear to be a different design but the rest of the braking system is the same. If anyone has a friend with a Supra that has a few hours you could jack a corner up on both cars and compare and contrast. If they are different then ideally even try swapping a plate to see if they fit.
