Is this really so difficult to improve performance?

I have Googled and Gaggled but simply cannot find ANY resources to improve performance of my 2004 Z4 2.2.

Short of replacing everything with an M3 I just want to have a little better performance from the engine. THEN, if I do get a nice boost I will be looking into other mods such as suspension, etc.

Yes, I really want to do this. The car is basically BRAND NEW with about 10K miles on it.

thanks to everyone in advance for any suggestions.

Sell it and get a 3.0, an M or an Alpina Roadster.

Otherwise let it rot at its average 650 miles per year it's been doing.

Mine's nearly brand new as well. It's done 160,000 miles - but I've replaced almost everything over the last 10,000 miles
