That would be the next logical progression. The Z4 engine bay was clearly desigend to handle much larger [read more powerful] power plants similar to the Z8 which came with the early e39 M5 V8 motor. And someone has already put a current M5 v10 in a Z4 so following that logic, BMW had intended to give the car more power over time from the get go. The next Z4M will likely have the new V8 from the M3 while the replacement for the 3.0si would logically be the twin turbo from the 335i.

So yes, I wouldn't be surprised if that was indeed an intercooler peeking out.
