i haven't noticed anything unusual... it's pretty quiet... even compared to the old E53..
as for the hood....boy what a difference!! i had to close it very gently for fear that it would crack or fall apart!! i think they got too carried away on weight savings...

They porked out the E70 ...they had to shave some stuff
somewhere, imo. Sorry to read you still have noise, L... Hey, what does everyone expect from a $70G car? Keep the tunes up, but not "too" up...most of us Boomers are deaf as Beethoven, ('cept for moi, ).BR,mD ![]() |

I've been researching noise levels compared to my 335i prior to buying. FWIW from Edmunds at 70 mph cruising:
S550: 62 dba X5: 63.6 dba 335i: 64.2 dba |

I have no problem with the noise... I'll try to pay more attention to it and will let you know.

They've got to cut costs somewhere folks!
There are many places where the new BMWs don't feel as strong/well-built as their predecessors. The hood on the E70 does seem surprisingly light, somewhat cheap. There was a thread WAYY back here when the E70 first come out, where someone hit some debris and suffered surprising damage. |

I am sorry but have to disagree. I have put 100,000 miles on each of the E 53's I have owned ( 2001 and 2004 ) and the E 70 is quiet as can be. The E 53's were noisier.

Mine is quiet ! Just checked - both highway and local roads. I mean I can hear cars going by, but only if I pay attention to it.
Then it might be wax in the ears (and my wife always complains that I dont hear half what she says ![]() |
