The perfect ambient sound for falling asleep.

There is audible throttle response for the driver that becomes more noticeable in Sport Mode, but nowhere near the sound of a traditional ICE.

I wish someone would post all the available cluster modes, since I really hate those neon hexagon graphics. I would pay extra for a retro skin that honors classic BMW gauges...

What a conundrum; drive in Sport mode, or kill yourself in comfort mode (after you fall asleep and go off the road); it used to be the other way with ICE

I leased an i3 in 2015-2017 and commuting with it actually had the opposite effect. It was noticeably less fatiguing and left me with MORE energy at the end of my traffic-ridden commute. |

Although some people may miss hearing the sound of their engine revving and exhaust, this is not meant to be a sports car. It is meant to be a quiet, comfortable cruiser. The quieter, the better. I'll take the silence over engine/exhaust sounds played though the speakers any day. I had 2 issues with my X5 that made it much more obvious how much fake sound is used and I really would like to turn it off. First issue was when the sound system completely died like a day after getting the car. No sound whatsoever could be generated... so no music, no fake engine sound, no turn signal click (yes even that is faked)... Second issue was for like a day or so, the sound was distorted coming out of the speakers. This made the fake engine noise very noticeable cause it sounded completely wrong. Sounded like Chewbacca getting angry as I pushed the pedal down. |

you'd think that doing this would be a no brainer for BMW to put in place since they switched to fully digital displays... Honestly I don't get why they don't do it. Leave the modern ones there and just give people the choice of using the old ones with less fancy functionality if they want to.

I'm a little disappointed that the ambient lighting is so subdued. No led light strip on the dash? The "I" lineup should be looking like it's 20 years from the future, not behind even the current lineup.

I am also a bit disappointed with the lack of LED strips, especially compared to X5.
