Yup, that is very similar to what they teach at the BMW Performance Center down in SC when you do a factory delivery. You want the seat holding you from both the bottom(angled back) and the sides. Then you want to be close enough that when your shoulders are against the backrest, your wrist breaks along the top of the wheel. It's staggering how few people have a proper driving position for car control, but then again, it certainly isn't touched on in the slightest in drivers ed and the like.

Side mirrors aimed into blindspots is another good move as well. No reason to have 3 aiming straight back, especially on something like a Z4MC that already has compromised visibility.
