I believe there are tunners doing it, and I don't think the cost is too significant.

Geeesh, that is one heck of a loaded question.
I wish I had any idea of what they are gonna do. Honestly, I hadn't done much research when I got my M3CS. I just wanted out of my X5 lease and the CS had been sitting on the lot for about 5 months. Was too good of a deal to pass up.
For the M5CS I am really hoping that they some how figure out a way to improve engine/oil cooling. I did the Advanced M School at Thermal last November and couldn't do more than 2 laps on the big track without the M5 going into limp mode. Was really disappointing.
I would guess that the M5CS would have a marginal power increase (M3CS was only 10hp more than the M3 Comp).
Some weight reduction and slight aero would be cool, but again, it's just to hard to guess.
