I am new to the bimmer world and forum.

After the recent effect with the VW diesel I sold my TDI and purchased a BMW X5 Diesel and feel a rant was needed after my recent tune experience. The powerband of the diesel was OK, pre-tune, but I just had the Malone Stage 1 added by my local dealer, KaleTuning, and I could not stop giggling after the test drive. For those in Southern California I would highly recommend taking the time to either travel, or ship, your ecu to KaleTuning as he made sure I was satisfied and informed on everything about the car and tune.

I just want to see if there are any negatives from increased drive terrain wear from such a large increase in the torque. I am hoping someone can chime in with long term experience from those who have tuned the diesel engines. The drive terrain seems to be very stout, but I am more surprised with how good the power output is for a the price of the tune.
