What sound will I get

Each to their own, I bought for comfort and a quiet drive and so the last thing I needed was the noise of an ICE.

That’s why I asked the question if you really wanted the noise or not. This is the first EV I’ve owned where I actually like the sound but I got my brother to take it today for the first time and he turned it on but turned it off after 5 miles. At least if you have it the option to have it on or off is open to you.

Maybe I ask those that didn’t spec the sound, did you do it for the saving or are you not really wanting the sound that EVs make. BTW I can understand why you might not chose it as an i5M60 past owner it’s electronic noise wasn’t the best, but when the car is well north of £84K on a base model and a lot more with extras why for the sack of £480 not tick the box.

I when on to the Porsche website and listened to both the Sports and Sport Plus versions and they were among the best generated engine sounds. I currently drive mine on Sport all the time and occasionally Sport Plus which I never did on the BMW.

Don't want it, it sounds like it is, artificially generated, and I like a quiet EV. I have a real V8 for aural experiences. The sound is better than most but still unwanted, it is also bloody cheeky asking 500 sovs for an electronic file.

Wait, is the V6/V8 sound present on the outside as well? So you'd hear a vroom standing outside when the car takes off?

Yeah, and it sounds great, too.

If it’s sounds like this I’m in

I too have a car with a proper engine note when I desire such a thing, though in my case it’s flat 6 but still it’s a nice sound.
