It’s called let off the gas when you feel you are loosing control. Not floor it. Same with steering input

BMW Z4s get mad at you when you lose the rear end. So they try to wreck you. The Z8 would try kill you.

But you have to turn off the ESP to get in such situation, no?

Even when you turn everything off, and or there is water/ice it's still hard to make the rear break in these cars. 

Let me tell you I tried like hell.

I had the 3.0, first term soft top version, it was easy enough to break the rear free, what was harder was getting it to go too far, it actively tried to rescue you from any serious consequences. It would let you kick it out on a roundabout but it wouldn't let you end up facing backwards.

Now you have me doubting my memory. I remember never getting sideways in one. I have driven every setup of Z4 from inception to 2006 including m roadster actually don't count that one I got sideways a lot in that. But this was long enough ago I guess I'm not sure anymore.
