Interested in updates on this evolve tune as well.

As mentioned above, I picked it up at a local BMW indy shop that. It's a direct bolt on because it is the same engine, we just have a detuned version. 325i to 330i conversion:

I think the complete list of things to look at are the intake, exhaust, injectors and tune.

I think your biggest issue there would be fitment and clearance. And the advantage to upgraded headers is two fold; a more efficient design and the removal of the cats. X5 headers would only potentially address they one, if they fit, which I really doubt they would.
Injectors are an interesting point...
*Edit* Just checked RealOem and the injectors are the same part number?
