Any options for a tune? Not saying money isn't a concern, but im willing to pay.
I also really wish my truck had paddle shifters as I use manual mode a lot, but I dont like having to take a hand off the wheel. Any options for a retrofit?
For the answers to obvious questions, I don't want to upgrade to an X5M as I think that would be a waste of money to put 550hp in a truck, and because I like the mechanical steering in the e70 X5. Getting a 2013 X5 was never an option because the mileage is terrible with the 6 spd. This truck is great just want a couple of mods.

If you've already got a 2013 but no paddles I think you're outta luck for a retrofit. Sport and M Sport LCI models w/o paddles (2011's, most 2012's) can be retrofitted but otherwise (non-LCI, or LCI base/premium models)...I've yet to see someone here make it work.
Surprised you enjoy shifting an 8 speed manually? I have the paddles and never use them, way too much shifting and no real performance advantage.
