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?

I gather they've added a distinctive cold start sound too which is a nice touch:

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.

Just get yourself a Hope Hub fitted to get the angry bee sound 👍🏻
