.....I'd say whatever is available for any 330i/530i should be the same for the X. Dinan is the most obvious, but no doubt, Jim Conforti, Turner Motorsport, Bavarian Autosport and others must or will have performance parts for it. The thing is that there is little to be gained these days. Here is a quote from Dinan:

The new 3 liter Engine Management Systems are fine examples of BMW’s sophisticated engineering. BMW has provided the driving enthusiast with all of the power that can be mustered as a result of engine management tuning. BMW detonation control systems, high speed engine management computers and sophisticated "adaptations" have left no horsepower for we tuners to extract; as much as we hate to admit it!

I take it that you haven't driven the 3.0i. Few feel that it lacks power. The standard item is so good right out of the box that it'll fail to disappoint. BMW sixes love to sing!
