I will be trying to get a drive in a 17" wheeled E90, and also a 16" wheeled ED to see if that solves the problem - on m-way drive yesterday I turned up the (standard) stereo to compensate and just got out of the car with ringing ears, which won't do.

Yet despite a remarkably supple ride, the refinement suffers as it generates more wind and road noise than the Mercedes.

Was my biggest criticism of the 328i saloon I tested, far too much tyre and road noise getting into the cabin, the demo car was on 18" wheels. Plus too much wind noise for the premium status of the 3-series. Some say it has been improved, but the Auto Express comment suggests may be not.
