They are giving you new hardware:
  • M Performance intake silencer,
  • M Performance engine cover,
  • M Performance plaque for the engine compartment,
  • M Performance stickers for the side sills,
  • new engine control device (vehicles built before November 2012)

Granted, only the new ECU is something that costs a significant amount of money, but all those little things (plus installation time/cost) do add up. They're not just a "free tune".
