It's pretty easy, I've done this on E36 328. There's an amount of plumbing to disconnect but nothing massively difficult. Have a

Yes, it's held down with a few m6 bolts either side of the TB (but more underneath)

For future reference, BMW TIS can be found online nowadays:

Here's the part on the M52 manifold

yes mate wizards of nos kit when its done it will be jetted to around 125hp and there is methanol injection drilled right into the throttle body
i was quite supprised nothing was hard to remove or hard to work out there was just lots of it to remove before anything happened
i found that tis manual once but couldnt find it again after that for some reason must have been typing the wrong thing into google
