: I recently purchased a 97 528 with automatic trans. It has a noise that sounds like snow tires that starts at about 40mph. It gets less noticeable when you reach 55mph. I have replaced the tires to no avail. I took it to a large dealer. They also heard the noise, checked "everything" and found nothing. They told me its probably becasue BMWs are built so tight, that the noise make be coming from the engine mounts. Other cars have softer mounts. What a bunch of crap I say! The only other way I can describe the noise is that its like being in an airlock. Any ideas??????

How about the muffler? I had loose baffles inside my '93 535 it made a deep rumble especially for people in back seat.
