Can you believe that it’ll have even its own version of a gear change? Watch the video below and get prepared to be amazed by the featured sound.

According to BMW’s statement towards their M models, the hush of electric driving offers an unprecedented level of comfort, offering an amazing driving experience So, a unique sound for electrified M models is “charged with extra energy.” BMW created different sounds for the car’s different modes while the “acceleration sparks a rich intensification of the soundtrack’s development, authentically reflecting the car’s performance character.”

“Every BMW has its own character, which is reflected in the sound it makes,” said Zimmer even confirmed that they developed for the electrically driven BMW M models, they have developed a driving sound which accentuates their emotional driving experience particularly vividly and ensures their performance can be felt with even greater intensity.
