We are not talking about acceptable noise levels some of us are talking about the difference between the E 53 and E 70. My 70 is much more quiet than my two previous 53's. I am not arguing with you or anyone else I am just stating a fact on the three cars I am comparing. Not saying yours are not rumbling down the road. I have had several people ride with me that are not BMW people and they have commented on quiet the cabin was. That's all I can tell you.

I'm not looking for a pissing match. I find it odd that some of us that have had both say their E70 is much quieter. I have also had two E53s and I hear a huge difference between the models. I thought it was just mine until I tested two other E70s yesterday. Therefore either I have supernatural hearing powers or something is amiss.

I have never driven an E53 but, I find the cabin of my new E70 to be extremely quiet. I thought my old ML 320 was quiet and the X5 trumps it. You mentioned Route 1 in your earlier post. Were you at Princeton BMW?

I'm not either!! Just hope your next 70 is as quiet as mine.

It's a good thing I like my music loud

Wait...it all makes sense now. You're in Kansas what the hell noise is there for you to hear, crickets :

Just kidding

Not a lot of noise here. Ha! One question..how many miles on your 70?? I have less than 1000 so I am wondering if you have quite a few miles on your run flats maybe they get real noisy. Mine are same as new and quiet but maybe I am in for an awakening when I get a few. My 4 X-5 sport got real noisy at about 20,000 miles because of cupping. So far so good for the 70. Really like it so far. Fingers crossed.

3600 miles, but it's not the tires I hear, it's everything else. At least Sirius now has Rolling Stones Radio.
