Tune for X6 50i?
is there a tune available for it? I figured running the same engine as the X6M there should be some sort of tuning capabilities for this.

BMW actually has a "Performance Power Kit" software available for pre 4/10 production 5.0i's. It increases HP to 440 and Torque to 480 lb-ft. I have it installed in my 5.0i and am very happy with it. It also enhances the exhaust note.

I'm hopeful BMW will be releasing an OEM tune upgrade for the 8 speed X6 (post 4/10 production). I just purchased a new to me 2011 50i and wanting to get it if/when it does come out..
My dealer tells me BMW typically releases upgrades/enhancements beginning of the summer so maybe we'll see something June/July... Its the same motor - I'm guessing the only difference/delay is just progamming for the differnt dynamics of 8spd vs. 6spd... |

How much was the performance kit for it? Was it noticeable and worth it? |

$1500. I had read it went from a factory only option to a after-market dealer option. I even saw it in the BMW accessory guide but can't find it anymore.
I've only ever know it so I don't know what it's like without it. More here:

Dinan has tuning available for the X5/X6 5.0. The Stage 2 tune is very popular and brings the truck up to 501HP/580tq. Dinan was running a sale last month, so I would check with local dealers to see if they extended it!

Through July 2012 the pricing was much lower and I took advantage of monthly dealer special discount on the "Performance Power Kit" so my total price installed was about $850. The pricing went up considerably directly following my purchase and is now $1253 plus installation through BMWUSA (individual dealers sometimes have better pricing)
