Very disappointed BMW as a transit van is quieter than this, you would expect next to no noise transmission from the tyres inside the car, for this prestige make of car. I am seriously considering getting rid of this and jumping ship to an Audi. My 530D E60 was quieter. Can anyone advise of a similar situation, is it because the tyres are run flat that so much noise is produced.

i definately noticed a difference when i changed from runflats to standard tyres, in ride comfort and noise level, but hand on heart the noise was never really an issue for me, big fan of smoother ride though. just pray you dont have a puncture
