The only thing I disagree with in that recommendation is the seat height, especially in a Z4. Moving the seat up high made for my legs brush the bottom of the steering wheel, and hard to see all the instruments. Sitting low allowed me to rotate the wheel and not hit my knees, and see the instruments through the wheel as well. Also, +1 for proper adjustment of the side mirrors to the blind spots and tilting the rear mirror up so half of it is blocked by the roof, so you can see a fair distance behind the car (coupe issue not sure about the roadster guys). Also this is my standard position for street driving. When doing DE or autocross, I seat a little closer so there is even more bend in my elbows and more control over the wheel.
