BMW IconicSounds in Lynchburg, VA

Be Moved by the Rhythm of BMW’s IconicSounds

One of the many perks of driving an electric vehicle is the quiet, serene hum of the electric engine. That is unless you’re a driving enthusiast. In that case, the lack of resonant sounds that match the EV’s instant torque puts a real downer on the experience, especially if you’re behind the wheel of a sporty sedan like the BMW i4. When you press the pedal of BMW’s dynamic performance vehicles, you expect to hear the vroom of the engine revving to life. Without it, the drive just isn’t the same. Luckily, with BMW's IconicSounds, you don’t have to trade electric efficiency for a thrilling ride. BMW is dedicated to giving drivers the best experience possible, no matter what's under the hood. Whether that means fine-tuning the powertrain to crank out 500+ ponies or partnering with Hans Zimmerman to bring the satisfying purr of a gas-powered engine to electric performance vehicles, BMW is ready to deliver.

Don’t believe us? Visit the BMW of Lynchburg dealership to rev up the i4 or the i5 and hear the difference yourself.
