No. The Nexus 4 is not a retail device, and radio firmware is not part
of the Ubuntu images. You'll have to go find the old image that has the
radio firmware which supports LTE, and flash it onto your Nexus 4
manually.

The bq e4.5 and e5 do not support LTE at all. They are not the same
hardware as the Nexus 4.

The bq Aquaris devices radio is specified as:
3G HSPA+ (900/2100)
2G GSM (850/900/1800/1900)
