BMW M3 electric will have fake exhaust sound and simulated gears to maintain driving excitement (Instagram @bmwm)
BMW is preparing to launch a fully electric version of the iconic M3 and has been releasing short videos about the car’s development.
In the latest video, the company revealed that the model will feature synthesized exhaust sounds, emitted through the speakers, simulating the roar of a high-revving inline six-cylinder engine. The video also shows testing in the Arctic Circle, where engineers evaluate the chassis dynamics.
In addition to the fake sound, there are hints that the electric M3 could have a simulated gear system, like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. BMW had previously mentioned the possibility of artificial gears for its EVs, and in the video, the driver seems to engage a paddle on the steering wheel before the recording cuts. This feature could make driving more engaging for enthusiasts, unlike other electric sports cars, like the new Dodge Charger, which simulates a V8 engine but without gears.
BMW’s strategy might appeal to fans who are still hesitant about accepting an electric M3. With three videos released since December, the company is expected to release more content before the official unveiling of the model.
The hope is that these simulated features will make the driving experience more thrilling and could even convince the most skeptical about the new generation of the M3.
