s. I know a great driver who in his E36 M3's does 1:26's! The car just about a race car though, gutted, caged etc.
Monday at PIR, the loving wife did a 1:37 in the Z4M. In the M3 she did a PR of 1:34. At the same even I ran somewhere in the 1:40. Yes, I know she was faster. I was just getting a feel for the car. The stock pads don't give much confidence.
My head was focused on grip but never really thought about weight. Where is the big weight in this car? Is there a 300 pound lead weight hidden somewhere? It would make is so much easier! In all seriousness thanks for any tips.

I think the weight is the motor, air bags, and electronics of a modern bmw. No rear seat to remove, so the next place is the a/c and light weight seats. That might be close to 120 lbs.
Sorry you got beat by the misses
