Personally I've had tunes years ago but haven't on the last few cars. Like was said earlier, if I do I'm assuming my warranty is void and while unlikely, don't want that risk.
I read an article the other day on the X5 (not sure if it was a specific engine/model only) that said the transmission communicates with satellites and adjusts how it works/shifts based on knowing where you are/what street you're on etc. (REALLY??)
If they've this kind of capability, they can find a tune.

Yeah I saw that one, I think I saw one about current models too. Amazing.
