Hi guys,
Im planning on replacing those terrible Dunlops on my e60 as they produce more noise on the road than a tank !!
Im between these 4 :
- Michelin Primacy HP
- Michelin Pilot Sport 3
- Continental ContiSport 3
- Continental ContiSport 5
I live in Cyprus -> 8 to 9 months of sunshine, rest is rain/cloudy
What im looking for :
- noise free
- very comfortable driving (the feeling the car not touching on the road)
im looking forward for your recommendations!!!!

From the 3 you list and the conditions you drive in, I would go for the pilot sports.
Primacy are better in cooler temps and raoin, you do not get enough to justify it.
Both conti's are good, but the precision of the PS3's is better and they are quieter.
