01 330ci Questions --> new owner...Help.

I just bought a 01 330ci (Sport, Premium) Silver on Blk., Several issues come to mind, not sure if its normal or not..?

1. Car seems to have a lot of Road Noise (has Pilot Sport tires-Factory?) Is this normal? (I used to drive a very quiet SUV...)

2. I have HK sound system, when a song with too much bass comes on the area between the 2 rear speakers raddles a bit - when I apply presure it stops..how can I make it stop for good...any ideas...??

3. there is a slight buzz/whine under the the front of the Right rear tire, is this the ventilation system....??

Any suggestions ideas would really help...

Thanks!

I answered question 1 in the other thread.

Dunno about question 2 since I don't have HK.

As for question 3, I don't think so. The ventilation comes from near the center console area. I often drive barefoot and when blasting the A/C to that area, I have to stick my toes up to the far right side of that footwell area to feel the air blowing. Since the wheel is to the left, I don't think it's the ventilation. Maybe you need an alignment or something's wrong with the front tire (like almost out of tread or something)?

When i bought my 330 used it had older tires on it, once i changed them it reduced the road noise dramtically.
I also had problems with vibration from the hk speaker on the passenger door I brought it in and they replaced it (under warranty) and it works fine now.
