You should check out the N54 section to learn who the major players are in the BMW community. This will give you a better idea of who you should try and who really isn't worth trying. I'm pertty sure the tuners that have been successfull on the N54/N55 platform will be successfull on the N20.

I guess I got spoiled by the Cobb accessport on my Evo. With that I could monitor all aspects of my engine's performance. Cobb came to the forums and you could post logs from the accessport which the tuner would help you analyze. It really made me feel that my car was running safely within margins. Now perhaps that can't be done with the BMW ecu but I really want that same level of transparency with whoever tunes my 328i.
Now take Dinan as another example...not that transparent but they warranty your engine. I mean of you're going to be cagey about your product at least be willing to pay if it does do damage. Right?
Cost really isn't a big factor per se. Take the Kellener Sport tune. It is very expensive! When I tried to get information about the device I couldn't find anybody knowledgeable about the particulars of the product. Is that tune worth the money?
All I am saying is that I hope the tuners will put raw data on the table so we can make intelligent purchasing decisions.
