Well, uhh, no shit you'll have to get an EV if nothing else is going to be at the dealer.

S58 is the last pure ICE BMW M drivetrain, confirmed by Flasch more or less.

I don't get it. It's an EV, it doesn't make noise so why give it a noise....I'd rather listen to music than some artificial sound. Another thing to make me never want an EV.

Because of new laws in Europe they will have no choice

The concern is for pedestrian safety

Seams ridiculous IMO

I heard that some tuners are already working on coding that will lower the sound by a full octave! Woah…

Why not for this new approach.
But please give me an option to chose from all the previous M ICE engines and their specific noise (music to my ears) ! Heritage explained to the new generation and also keeping faithful M clients. 4, 6, 8, and 10 cylinders and even 12 with the never produced M8 would be a super bonus ! Think about it BMW.

Where'd you hear that? As of recent, ICEs don't have an expiration or any plans of it for BMW. MINI on the otherhand is going full EV.

I think I'd just prefer a slight hum and more insulated/quiet car, but that's mainly because so far I think EV's are best suited towards commuter or comfort/luxury type cars rather than sports cars. There's just no way of recapturing emotion through sound in an EV in my opinion.
I dunno, the VW iDr sounds pretty mean going round the ring or up pikes peak. Like a giant version of a bad ass rc. I'd be ok with that on my 1000 hp iM2. Hahaha

I do agree though that one of the things I love about our leaf plus is how quiet it is while cruising around town and I hope most ev's stick with this route. No need for artificial sound in a car. If it were me, I would put a better audio system in so the music can sound better within that quieter space.

This is an interesting thing. When it comes to buying an EV, is the sound it makes going to play any part of the decision making? Likely not - it's just going to be there. I look at this as an extension of ActiveSound. Everyone made such a huge deal about it but in reality and in application, if BMW didn't say anything, it would have likely gone unnoticed.

At the end, it's just going to become a sound of an EV.

I was just watching a video of the Lexus LFA in which the sound of its V10 engine was designed by Yamaha. I should've waited a day or two before watching this video.
