F30 Sound Insulation

[bimmerman]

Gents,

Is it me, or is the sound insulation on the F30 bad? Or is the new N20 engine exceptionally noisy, sounding like a diesel engine?

Besides turning on the stereo louder, anything anyone did to help reduce the noise? Previous ride is an E90. Any after-market sound treatment?

Thanks guys!

Wonder why BMW would do this. Can anything be done? What can PML do?

Direct injection on the n20 sounds like a diesel. Just find a quiet place, start the car and let it idle...hard to tell if you have a taxi or bmw

However, on the n20 5 series, nothing can be heard inside the car, so your problem might be insulation...

Maybe line wheel arches with sound insulation stuff and also change seals? I dunno man but if they happen to do something to improve this on my ride I'll let u guys know.

Thanks. Know of any place that takes care of sound insulation? I can't believe I'm even asking this question for a BMW.
