Bmw 2.5 supercharged

I have a question for you guys, I currently have a 2004 bmw z4 2.5 and it has 78,000 mileage and I was wondering if its OK to supercharge my bumper with that mileage.

Not sure if your bumper would take it but your 2.5 should be fine

I did mine with 94,000 on it and Pokeybritches has over 100,000 on his 3.0 M54

There shouldn't be any issues based on mileage alone. If you have any problems with the engine right now, don't do it. I have 130k miles on mine, and I don't have any engine-related issues.

Headers aren't required, but help. Headers + cams will typically net 20-40 whp depending on engine displacement (2.5 or 3.0) and boost level.
