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
If you have time, read a couple of the topics on trying to reduce the noise levels in the F3x models. There is one very long thread.

Some users have gone to extremes, to try and reduce wind and tire noise.

I drive a 5-series and virtually all tire noise is road surface dependant. I drive in the Highlands of Scotland and we have all types of surfaces, the 5-series runs silent on some sections, granite chipped surfaces can be quite noisy, concrete is the worst, in my experience.

Most BMW users with OEM exhausts won't have drone issues.
