I drive on California's crappy concrete highways and even with my camry i can still hear tire noise(or is it air turbulence under the chassis).

Thanks to all for the input.
You missed the traffic/external noise...my 2012 28i has that problem, only way to ignore is turn up the volume. It's the insulation on the doors/windows...they reduced to keep the curb weight low...same as the F30.

Better you test drive a 2012 model on the same road that you frequently travel and compare.
