There is also BPM sport with reviews on this thread
E70 BMW X5 35D 3.5" Turboback Exhaust DPF, SCR, UREA Delete - Page 5
I just looked these up as a comparison they all have different tunes so it's hard to compare what you get with who but these apparently are all dpf, scr and egr delete (but not including price of the dpf delete pipe)
BPM sport $1,300
Malone tuning $1,098 (their stage 2 plus dpf adblue and egr delete)
Jr Auto tuning $1,199 (stage 2.5 race)
BimmerOEM/Alex: $2100 or $2500 depending on the tune but including the dpf test pipe. might or might not be better out the door with everything included.
TRF tune/bawareca:$600 stage 1 or 2
GSR Technik (Previously Jailbreak Tuning): no pricing or website seems to be available maybe its just local business.
I am very interested in this tune, it's just somewhat difficult to keep track of who is offering what. I assume you can talk out individual features that you want added like for example turn off cold start mode or remove max speed limiter or increase rpms by 200 etc etc.
would be nice to put a group buy together with a number of people who would be interested and then go up to the tuners and see what they can do for us in terms of price.
price is a big issue for me as well, these are not tunes you can easily remove when you sell the car and you also have to remove/ reinstall the ecu and installing the straight dpf pipe is no easy task as the engine mounts must be undone and the sub frame dropped to get the dpf out intact. the savings in extra mpg alone do not add up to a $2000 tune.
Edit: added trf tunning option
