No more whispering when L is within 100 yards...

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.:thumbup:

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!!:rofl: Just hope your next 70 is as quiet as mine.:thumbup:

Open Road in Edison

It's a good thing I like my music loud :thumbup:

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

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.:thumbup:

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