My Ride: 05 545i, Jet Black, Black Leather, Black Anthracite. Sport Pkg, HUD, NAV, 20-way Comfort Seats, Prem Snd Pkg Logic7, Htd Rear Seats, Rear side impact, Cold Weather Pkg, Fold Down Rear Seat/Ski bag, Soon 2B chromed rims. Picked up in Munich, Drove it to Prague, Vienna, Salburg & Bremerhaven. Put on 1300 miles. Enjoyed driving it 140mph on Autobahn (4,400 rpm).
Has anyone been able to get BMW to replace the tires on an 05 model for the RFT's due to excessive noise? I think most of the posts I've read were from guys that had 04' models. Mine seem quite loud on the highway and when I'm coming to a stop 20mph to 0. My car was built 9/04, the fronts are week 18/04, and I couldn't figure out the week in 04 for the rears.

I think early 05's can have the problem.? Yours was only built 2 months after mine.? I would have it noted with your SA before you get too many miles.? I am not sure when the Dunlops where updated, but I don't think it was until much later in the 05 model year.

Just talked to the Asst Mgr/Service Advisor at South Bay BMW and he offered a free tire rotation, but said that he had NEVER heard of BMW replacing tires due to noise. I told him I could probably give him at least 20 examples, mentioned the Forum, and said many people opened up PUMA cases. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

This is alarming. Mine is built 9/04, but I am experiencing heavenly ride. No noise issues so far at 5000 miles. Let's hope that it stays this way. I don't want to go back to the dealer again even for free tires.

My car was built in 09/04 and when I had it in to get a windshield replacement I also made them open a PUMA case on the tires. The noise started at around 5000 miles, currently at about 7200 miles. I'm currently waiting on BMWNA to call me about it so I can force them to replace the tires. The noise is quite annoying to me and really would like to have a quiet ride again.
Btw, why are SAs so uninformed about all the problems that can occur with the cars they service. When I first mentioned the tire noise, his first response was BMW doesn't cover tires under warranty. Seems all I get from this guy is that "it's not covered under warranty".

! Nice of him to offer, though (and be so knowledgeable about the cars he services...).
