Interesting....
You most likely wouldn't use full throttle sport mode acceleration for around town errands so you wouldn't notice a difference in range at all.
As far as the complexities of the system, BMW already did the hard work.
The parameters for the 2 speed gearing are pretty much set and are based more on speed than hp. I don't think there will be much of an issue with that. However, I have to give credit to BMW for the initial programming and design. Making it the two work seamlessly together, (as reported by EVO) must have been tough.
Thanx for your input
