hahaha, have fun with that one. i've never run the x3, but i can just imagine a cam that big on a stock tune. you'll prolly need to fiddle with the throttle body screw a little. shouldn't be too bad as long as you stay above 2k rpm.

It will be an advanture on the city streets. I would recommend a tune, to say the least.
