BMW will give the electric M3 fake engine sound and gearshift

BMW must fulfill a historic ceiling for choir joy when the electric cars also make the rounds of the M department. The Germans get rid of it by cheating with fake engine sounds and simulated gear changes.

There is not much to do. At least not if the electric M3, which everyone expects to hit the streets, has to live up to BMW's historical ceiling of joy.

Or, if you ask, the M department is there. In an interview with Top Gear , Frank van Meel, head of the M department, praises what Hyundai has done with its electric cars.

Namely artificial engine sound and fake gear changes. According to Frank van Meel, it is something he and the other people in the M department have been working on for several years.

– In an electric car with only one gear and no engine sound, the driver gets no sense of speed. We must find solutions that enable the car to communicate with the driver without him being forced to check the speedometer, says the BMW boss.

In a little more than a year, the world will get to see the first cars on BMW's actual electric car platform called the Neue Klasse. In 2027, the Germans are expected to unveil the first electric M3.

And Frank van Meel doesn't think the brand's fans can afford to be disappointed. In an interview with MotorTrend, the boss tries to emphasize that an electric BMW can also deliver joy.

In any case, according to them, BMW will be able to fulfill all the historical features that the cars with a combustion engine have founded with the future electric cars.

Whether it is a patch on the wound of the car enthusiasts and BMW fans, we do not have to guess, but Frank van Meel has previously said that the new M3 is being developed around technology that can deliver over 1,000 horsepower.
