Thinking of getting a bit of prep done on the underside before winter hits. Heard some great things about this stuff...

Protecting the underbody...
Thanks, will look that up. I know the usual waxoil types of underbody sealer have had some bad press of late with peeling off and water getting in underneath which just exasperates the problem.
I think on the Z4, the brake pipes are the most vulnerable.

Been using white grease for years and never had a problem with rust/corrosion particularly around brake pipes. Its fairly cheap in a rattle can and doesnt wash off like other products.

BH stuff is pretty don. I use an aerosol of Dynax on the underside & lower half of my rally car. It seems to hold up fairly well. Be warned if using it on anything visible though - I'm sure they will tell you is dries clear, but it's actually got a yellow tint to it.

Protecting the underbody...
I've never really thought about protecting the underside of the car until i saw Forensic Detailing youtube video [think it was his winter prep video]. If i recall correctly however, he basically layered fusso coat on the underside quite thick using a bit of sponge. However, this bilt hamber stuff looks quite good. Possibly ACF-50 could help in certain places also.

His videos are long but im guessing full of good advice lol. I can't watch them without skipping a bit!
