By extension, that means getting pleasure from hearing an engine rev through the gears, the shift if you're a manual driver, the exaggerated exhaust if you have a bi-turbo v6/v8... its the pleasure.
BMW? Really? I'm not sure BMW has produced anything like that in the last decade.

You list 2 SUVs in your profile though... I'm assuming you have a vehicle like you described above in your garage somewhere.

In all fairness though. I will continue to own an ICE vehicle along with my BEV for as long as I can afford to do so and as long as there are ICE vehicles I like with a manual transmission. However I don't see any compelling reason to go back to ICE for my daily driver unless it's strictly a cost issue.
