Default Wont give anymore

My 2.0 stops at 115mph and has little more to give! this is going uphill slightly and with only me and full tank of fuel. This is using high octane petrol too. Perhaps a little tuning is in need!!! The engine runs very clean though and I do like the mid range torque but I'd prefer it to give a little more all round as I'm sure the engine could hack it. Dont know where I'll draw the line though as the host of internal changes for turbos or superchargers sounds like a fun if expensive experiment. Had some fun though the other day coming off a roundabout onto my local stretch of dual carriageway (duel carriageway if you ask me) People in BMW's really do over rate their cars sometimes.
