    ....Furthermore, the electric motor developed by the BMW Group is characterised by exceptionally quiet and smooth running qualities.....

    But how will they fit the E-JCW performance "Noise Maker"???

    Not to pick nits, but I was always taught if it used gasoline (or other internally combustible fuel) it was an engine, if it uses electricity, it's a motor.
