What are some owners out there running tunes producing for 0-60 times? I would think 3.2-3.3 should be very realistic.

I highly doubt that any tuned M5 is going to see a 3.2-3.3 without slapping on some drag radials or wider rubber. The additional torque is only going to make it that much harder to launch. Sure the extra power is going to help as speed builds but any additional wheelspin is going to have a more significant impact in negating that top end acceleration. I really think that 0-60mph times are fairly meaningless in measuring high performance cars today. A 60-130mph time takes traction out of the equation (for the most part) and gives a better indication of performance/power.
