Question Are your run flats noisy
I thought it was just me. I had Blondboi with me today and he agreed, the E70 is noisy. My E53 didn't have this much road noise. Is it the run flats?

overall it seems like the E70 is 2x quieter than the E53.

So what's my deal? Ryan thought it might be my window deflectors. I can't imagine why, I had them on the E53 also. Why would I have so much road noise if yours is quieter than the E53 It sure sounds like tire noise to me. , I guess I just have to keep the stereo cranked for 23 months....

After extensive test drives with the E70 and riding in a friend's E53 on multiple occasions, I believe the E70 to be MUCH quieter with regards to road noise.

From Ryan's hair style, I guess you had the sunroof open Maybe that's what the noise was?
