I've contacted ESS and they've not fitted it to a Z4 yet, so it's either wait until they do our drive to Norway.

It looks pretty easy, but since the kit is for a E90. I can strugle a little bit with space problems for the air hoses. But that should be ok to fix.

The kit has no change of fuel nozzles and no intercooler, this is something that are time consuming on other kits. So very good for me installation wise

I assume you get instructions from ESS

Am i missing something but the kit doesn't produce much compared to the M54 kit, the graph shows 20 -30 Bhp more than standard

That's wheel HP quoted, not crank HP.

Wow... for a kit that doesn't include injectors or an intercooler, that's kinda pricey. It does include the flash cable, which is nice. Vortechs are much cheaper to service than ASA superchargers, so they've got that going in their favor too. ESS is the only company that spent the money to develop a kit, so I guess they have to recoup some of those R&D costs. I still think the kit should retail for $4k USD considering they reuse the stock injectors.
