The noise varies a bit with speed and also slightly with varying road surfaces, hence my attributing it to road noise.
It gets quite distracting and, after a while in the car, very annoying and has taken the joy out of driving it.
I have made an appointment with BMW for them to carry out a road test but was naturally wondering if anyone has had this symptom.
The tyres are Bridgestone Turanza 205/55R16 with basic alloy wheels.

I had the same issue with the same tires (Turanza ER300) in the same size on my 116d. Then I changed to other wheels with Conti SC5 and everything was fine.
