In a full EV, obviously there's no way to get the authentic sound of an ICE, but an artificial recreation of it is fine by me. I honestly don't care if transmission shift sounds are completely bogus in terms of physical oscillations, so long as it sounds good I'm in.

Think of it this way, if you were to play a driving arcade game, would you want the engine to be on mute? Would you want the game to have no engaging sound when you press the pedal?

Maybe it's not important to most drivers but for me (and I'd assume most enthusiasts) without sound there's no way I'm dipping into my wallet for an EV over an ICE.

I trust BMW will make an incredible full EV ///M experience though. So I'm stoked to see what's upcoming in the Electrified division.
