Give it a try, but my experience with SCCA is they have a hard on for BMWs and tend not be very flexible even on simple things. As an example I have Rogue Engineering rear shock mounting plates on my car with OEM shock mounts. The only thing it does is turn the mounting studs upside down so that you can remove the shock from the wheel well to change the setting. I thought it would be no big deal to get a clarification that these met the rules for street, and they came back and very firmly stated they were illegal for street class use. They also don't consider the Z4M a variant of the Z4 series, they consider it a unique model by itself, so you can't legally use any part from an M on a non-M car and still be legal for street class.
That sounds like the East German Olympic judges from the Soviet era.
