I am so you are going to naturally have more road noise because you have 21" wheels with run-flat. I have 20" wheels with run-flats and am actually going to change them to to same exact tires just non-run flat once my tires need to be changed because they are $75-100 cheaper per tire with same performance and quieter ride. Regarding brakes, I have same problem with brake dust and it is annoying. I had the same problem on my Lexus and my service advisor there upgraded the pads to ceramic and this fix all my problems. I am going to ask my BMW service advisor if they will do the same. Not sure if the BMW dealers have ceramic brakes for X6 yet |

i was driving few days ago my x6 around 200 km/h and i was amazed how good feeling i am getting from the car...like i was driving not more than 120km/h..that was cool!
I didnt noticed any strange noise at 200kn/m,so i am very satisfy! |

if the wheels on your car were high speed balanced & if any of the balancing weights are missing. Are all the gaskets around the doors sealing properly? When the car was new were u easy on the brakes during the break-in period? |

"....I find that the noise inside the cabin when hitting high speeds on the motorway is way to high..."
I agree way too much wind noise. I know the BMW videos show them running the smoke wand over it to show how aerodynamic it is , wonder if anyone ever took it out for a ride on the freeway. |
