Screaming Bean
Thursday, October 18, 2007

I've had my car now for 8 months. I love my car. It's fun to drive, responsive, and it gets alot of looks. Cool thing about my BMW is that for the life of my lease everything is included, right down to windshield washer fluid. And since I work right near my dealership, it's easy to stop in and have it taken care of. Back a couple months ago, I did stop in for a fill on the fluid, and the guy asked me if I was having problems with road noise. I used to drive a GM, so I said to him, no I don't think so? Turns out my lovely Bridgestone Potenza run-flats were prone to wearing out fast. Really really fast. Forums were full of people screaming about them wearing down to the cords before 15,000 miles. So fast in fact that they were willing to replace them for me for free before 10,000 miles. At the time I had 5,800, so I said I'd be back before the deadline, but no reason to jump the gun. But then I became obsessed about road noise. Was it in fact loud? Was it getting louder? We went out in someone else's BMW a while back and realized that damn, our tires were loud. So today I dropped it off, and in fact just picked it up. And wow, it's quiet. Holy crap. I suppose when I first got it it was this quiet, but it's been ever so slowly creeping up in volume. It's like a brand-new car all over again! And they washed it too...and detailed the wheels. Nice touch.
