Why ESS? Any particular reason.
With the question of 'top notch' job, whats their (Linden's) pedigree, I have not heard of them plenty of others but not them in respect of X's.
With 'Turn Key' are you talking about the 'physical' expression or the contractual one?
From a practical point of view you should not have a problem except the usual.. Insurance, petrol, Higher maintenance, but as far as 'novelty factor' goes I really dont think you will lose that!!!
Most performance tunes are designed around the OEM vehicle and where needed improvements are recommended by the designer and supplier, in addition the fitter will also advise from his own experience of the X, but that goes back to my point on the track record and experience of Linden in respect of the X not just BMW engines.
