Virtually all BMW models would benefit from that sort of product.

For the OP, most models will be virtually free from tire noise on good surfaces. Tire noise, to the cabin, increasing as surfaces change.

Current sound insulation will depend on BMW model ranges and is greatly influenced by the wheel/tire combination.
Yes. It seems it has similar issues as other manufactures during similar circumstances .

I thought exhaust was going to pop up more. And again Im not talking about that sweet note when you mat the pedal. Im talking about drone or just "oops I went a bit to aggressive on the exhaust" sound.. lol

Just to help a bit, a lot of the tire noise transmission into a BMW cabin is through the front suspension assemblies, and into the doors/bulkhead.
Thats interesting. I assumed most noise was coming from the rear. Usually trough the trunk. The truck is thin. It can sometimes reverberate like a drum making it worse. Usually front tire noise is blocked by the firewall and such.

In some cases it is coming from one area but it seams like its leaking in elsewhere. We will have to look into this. I wonder if anyone else can elaborate on this

Thank you
