I saw these go up for sale some time ago:

These builds gave me a good idea of what the minimum amount of work is required on this chassis and where a Z4M coupe could run class-wise. Note that they are also closer to caged street cars and can stand to lose the nav system, interior carpets, rear bulkhead, etc.
Going down the "caged race car" rabbit hole, I think that something like Spec Boxster / Cayman / e46 is just an all around better way to go - well defined specs and part kit, lots of development time and money already spent by other people that you can leverage, ability to buy a pre-built car or take yours to a builder that has already done several instead of a "1 of 1".
