Geia Sou!
There's really not a whole lot you can do to add major horsepower to a 2.5l engine. Most of the typical mods ( CAI, shark injector, exhaust) won't give you many gains, but they will make the car a lot more responsive through the powerband. Good luck with your car
apollo thank you so much for your response mate i think i will go for a comressor kit in future i think this will not heart the engine what about the rest of my isuues do you know anything at all fit the rear brake lights from 06 z4 to mine 05 z4

you can't fit the new brake lights without getting the new bumper, unfortunately.

the lights are shaped a little differently, so they aren't a direct fit with our bumper.

See how angled the step is in the tail light is?

see how smooth the drop is on the new one?
That is why you need to upgrade the bumper which is pretty $$.
ok isee now so i will have to cange and the rear bumber so i will ask tommorow how much it will cost both the lights and the rear bumber
