Stoptech ST-40 (front only) is what I have, works great for track usage

Can you guys run the Z4M rotors? If so, would it be possible to use the Porsche Brembo upgrades per Rally Road?

Probably not, the Z4 M and Non-M use different king pins. Even if you can fit the rotors, if the ET is right, you probably have to use adapters to fit the calipers.

In my opinion the best bang for the buck would be getting pads and fluid that can handle more heat and get some sort of brake cooling. That will be plenty, unless you do a lot of track.

Best bang for the buck would depend heavily on what the buck is used for.
