Basically, yes!

Here is a How-To I wrote some time ago now, it runs through the installation process for the E89 Z4, but basically it's the same. There's no DAB included as I never did that on that unit, so you'd have to add the antennas into the mix.
It includes the coding (you'd have to add in 654 for DAB as well), but as I say it would only need coding for anything you had that the doner car didn't. EG; if you have PDC and the doner didn't then you'd need to code the new headunit, but everything else wouldn't necessarily need coding.

Hope that helps
