The truth is not generally what people like to hear, but the best way to get a faster X5 is to sell your 3.0 and get a 4.4-4.8. Anything you do to the 3.0 short of spending 10k for supercharger software etc will not be worth it. For 10k more than your existing 3.0 is worth you can get a really nice 4.4.

or get the Dinan S package for $4k and boost to 236HP.

I'll second those two recommendations. BMWs aren't really meant to be tuned, and it costs ya. Dinan and AC Schnitzer do good stuff, but it's very pricey. The best bet is to just get a V8 X5.

You can also go for Hartge, Hamann, ASA, infinitas or if you want a well priced option go ESS they will give you 330BHP on your 3.0i for about 6100USD or 5000Euros.
