WE both agreed that the noise was caused by tyre noise. However, I was not privvy to what he wrote in his report but the service receptionist then informed me that no more could be done as there was no fault. I retorted that I could not accept this and wished to escalate the matter; she gave me the BMW customer service phone no. at Bracknell.
Speaking with them (after they had conferred with agent) that alas they deem it as not having a fault and no more could be done. I pressed them that I want to excalate the matter further, so they are again conferring with the service manager at the agent's to arrange for me to have a discussion with him. Will keep all updated.

sorry, I might be misunderstanding, but are you complaining to BMW about tyre roar from their OEM spec tyres?
