It happened to me, too. I'm 38, 5'10" tall, and I never experienced lower back pain before driving the Z4M.
I played a lot with seat settings, and the best position which suits my back is seat up about halfway from low to high, and almost horizontal (front of the seat just a little bit higher than rear of the seat), and backseat set rather forward than backward (but, of course still reclined a bit, not vertical).
The result is a driving position opposite to what I would like to have in the Z4M. It's rather hilarious when looking from outside - too high, too vertical and too forward, but I rather sit odd than suffer back pains.

However, although with this settings the back pain issue is significantly tamed, it is not eliminated.
The good news is that I can drive more than 3 hours without complaining too much.
I still find the Z4M seats as the most uncomfortable seats of all the cars I have ever driven in my life.
