I-Pace Noise
I've probably stuck this in the wrong part of the forum but ... seriously? If this crap is to become law I hope BMW come up with something better! |

Wouldn't it be easier to ban all electric vehicles from urban areas?

Wonder how many miles it will do before it's back in the dealers due to electrical issues? JLR can't do reliable multiplex electrics in a standard car with any reliability, let alone one like this that's all electric.

Holy crap I guess it's becoming a real issue.
The i8 since launch has a rear speaker as a fake exhaust to make sporty sounds, like an external ASD. True story Real OEM showed it all back at launch. What about a free wheeling cyclist (I cycle so I'm not an anti bike dick) should I make a mandatory "Weeeeeeeeeeee" Noise as I freewheel near silently downhill from 2019?

I don't mind that. What else could they do ? Beep beep ? Broom broom (fake V8, with complimentary 'wanker' hand signals from every pedestrian) ? "Car approaching ! Car approaching !" ?
Not offensive, and the changing tone to reflect acceleration/deceleration is useful. It's not clear whether this external ASD is active only below a regulation speed. I wouldn't want to hear several lanes of these on motorways.
