Any size worn, low profile tire is loud. And why didn't you have the dealership replace the tires before you bought it?

I bought this car from an individual is why the worn tires. I knew what i was getting into in regards to the tires. i just didnt want to buy new tires if they were going to be just as loud as what's on there now. My plan is to switch the General Exclaims with some Michelin Pilos AS Plus. Any opinion there?

The Michelins will be quiet for about 5000 miles. I had a set on a previous car. Great tires in wet and dry, but they get quite noisy once they begin to wear.

Now that's the trouble with modern cars, the tires are louder than the motor, another advantage for old-fashioned skinny tires which are way more fun to drive on because they'll let go if you lean on 'em.

Yes, I have a 2007 530i, and I don't believe it's a fault. I have the same problem. The window design is such that if it's raining and you use the wipers especially, that water sloshes over the left side of the windshield and drips into the window controls. Nothing can be done I don't think. I simply keep the windows closed when it's raining, or I keep them open just slightly so no water comes in. I hope that's my biggest problem with the car, which I love.

Plastic Doors, really?

I have a 2007 535i and was stunned to find out that somehow, my rear door had been cracked - a big crack from font to back. Evidently the door isn't metal - it's plastic. What the heck? Not sure what to do with it. I called a body shop and they didn't believe me. Do they sell replacement plastic "shells"?
