Yes there are differences. The early generation TV modules were 4:3 to match the screen format at that time. Later generation TV modules were switchable between 4:3 and 16:9. The latest generation TV modules also incorporate the ability to receive digital TV broadcasts.

Not sure about the Z4, but the E39, E38, E46 and X5 TV tuners are the same.
