I found out after ordering and had them that they are only good for city driving.

Did you call and see if you could exchange them for different ones?

The tunes are sent over email. They shouldn't be preloaded on your X4 as far as I know.

Wonder if one of the numbers/digits was wrong when you filled out the sheet. That's weird though.

You have to plug in the tuner and get your ecu strategy code, email it to them and they send your tunes via email.
Just did this last month with 5 star .. Very happy so far

Is that when you order the X4 and tunes straight from 5 Star at the same time? I suppose that would make a lot of sense if that's how they do it.

It will work the same as it always has, it will disable it partially. Due to liability issues Ford does not let the end user completely disable it. 5 Star tunes does disable it fully when button on dash is pushed.
