Did they make 2.8 Z4s? You can't get them in the UK. It could be that: 1.The tyres are new and not yet at their best (have you done many miles since? 2.The dodgy French mechanics have set the tyre pressures wrong. 3.As you suspect, the latest software is a bit "nannying" 4.You say "little or no throttle" - lifting off suddenly will cause the TC to intervene.

But.... 1. I didn't notice the effect when the rears were well-worn - is there a reason why smaller diameter rears wouldn't fool the traction control system in this way. 2. This makes me a little worried about the cost of a destructive puncture in one tyre of a part worn set - should the whole set be replaced? Ouch! Anyway thanks for a sensible suggestion, I'll have to get on with wearing down those rears!
