I would not take that risk if I were you. BMW is much more sensitive to engine tuning modifications nowadays, either DME tuning or "piggy backs" like this. Even though the X7 is not considered a popular vehicle to tune, compared to a 3-series. While there are no guarantees, don't make it easy for BMW to flag your vehicle and void your warranty on a $100k vehicle. Just my $.02...
