I don’t use the gas engine enough in my daily commutes at the risk of voiding warranty

I'm from Europe btw. Car has no longer warranty so I will try it next week. Honestly, in 90% my wife uses the car for very short routes so it is used as EV mostly too.

So I got some info from the company:

tuning box, you will have the option to change between 5 settings, A-E.
Adjusting the settings on the box will look as follows:

A: 469hp/705Nm
B: 479hp/710Nm
C: 487hp/720Nm
D: 501hp/739Nm
E: 510hp/750Nm

(B58 - 45e)

I installed the kit 2 days ago, it is really plug and play, nothing special. Only problem was with the boost sensor plug, the original. I was strugling with it for an hour to disconnect. That plastic had some issue.
I made a test drive, it is different for sure. On Bluespark module I changed the settings to A, so to the weakest. It is enough for now.
It would be good to test it on a dyno. Now I can only feel the torque change, and this modification is really significant at lower RPM.
So for this price this is a bargain.

I just picked up a used '21 45e a week ago. Looking forward to adding one of these piggyback boosts and perhaps an intake down the line. These cars are so quiet I'm not even sure if I want to do the intake or not, any observations?

I did/do have a 530E that I added a Racechip piggyback to ... don't know if it's related but I did have some transmission issues down the road and was replaced under warranty, a shifting hesitation when transitioning from electric to gas. Hopefully unrelated to the mod and just a fluke (I had read about someone else with the same transmission issue who didn't report having added a boost mod).

I have the JB Plus https://burgertuning.com/collections/x1-x2-x3-x4-x5-x6/products/b38-b46-b48-b58-bmw-jb-plus-tuner and the associated intake along with the mission tuning range extender - really enjoying that combo for not much $ and can surely feel the difference in power and throttle response and getting about 65-70mi in the warmer weather

Does the JB Plus give extra range on the battery or just more power to the engine?

So you can piggyback the JB and the Mission performance?
What do you mean with the associated intake?

Thanks
