Turanzas droaning?
I noticed that my stock tires (Bridgestone Turanza) on my e90 335i make slight droaning sound at speed over 40mph. Is this normal for these tires since they only have less than 300 miles? I could also feel some vibrations from the steering wheel when hitting bumps and when the road surfaces change. I drove a 325i loaner before, and the steering wasn't quite as sensitive in feel. Should I also check the wheel bearing and alignment?

May not be the Turanza problem as the OP has a new car with 300miles or so. So presumably, the car has the new and improved Turanza from the factory. And I believe the Turanza tire cupping issue doesn't surface until you rack up more miles.

I took my car to the local dealer service today. The shop foreman drove it and said my car is fine, but I still think something is not working right. I could hear the droaning sound from the tires even with the stereo on. Also, the vibrations from the wheels are still there even after getting the tires re-balanced. I had similar problem with my previous car when a wheel shop installed wrong size hub-centric rings after putting the wheels on.

I found out today that 2 of my EL42's have bad flat spots. Are they covered under warranty? My car is OCT 06' production.
