The parts I order are actually for 2x Z4Ms. If you are ordering by my list, then make sure to /2.
All BMW special parts you see on the list are a MUST for Z4M.
If I recalled correct...
11-34-0-031-525 Set of Small Adjust - Shim kit
83-30-0-493-743 Magnetic Lifter - shim picker
83-30-0-493-749 Template - Camshaft timing tool
83-30-0-493-429 Tester - Black box tool/VANOS switching unit
83-30-0-491-148 adapter lead - connecting black box directly to your battery terminals
83-30-0-493-430 Connector - air compressor connector to your VANOS
You can't remove VANOS unit without black box, adapter lead, and connector. Unlike E46 M3, Z4M has a crossbar right in front of VANOS. The black box tool + air compressor extend the VANOS pistons allowing you to disconnect VANOS from the helical gears, then retract VANOS pistons for easier removal in such tight space.
You will also need a BMW TDC locking pin (I got my from ebay $12, it was too long but I use dremel to cut it shorter. 07+ uses a slightly smaller locking pin. Putting the engine at exactly TDC is very important, I wouldn't suggest making your own TDC locking pin.
