I'm also assuming that you accomplished any BMW software update before installing the tune?

Yeah all of the injectors have been changed to the updated index version. I actually replaced the ignition coils, spark plugs, and fuel injectors recently so thats all new. I replaced it a few months ago when I was having misfire issues.
I still need to contact BMW about the airbag and driveshaft because I've heard/read some horror stories about both of those, I've just been putting it off.
All of the mods are going to be put on hold until I get this thing running the way its suppose to. I knew when I bought this car that it was going to require heavy maintenance. My previous car was an e63 m6 and the one before that was an e46 m3 both of which required a lot of maitenance as well. Its just a BMW M thing I guess...
This X5M takes the cake though. Unless you're ready to spend $10k+ to keep this thing running, I wouldn't recommend this car to anyone.
