Wind noise at 70MPH really bothers me. Drop to 60mph and its quiet as anything. Wish it were that way at 70MPH since that's what I drive on the highway.

Also at low speeds (0-30mph) I find the suspension has a lot of "vibration" or oscillation in it when driving at low speeds. It feels like the car rocks side to side or the weight is rapidly shifting front to back...problem doesn't occur at higher speeds. Hit a bump and the car "rocks" side to side. One person commented that's just the BMW sport suspension ride but I dunno, its a bit unsettling. I thought maybe I was just too aggressive on the throttle inputs in lower gears (its a manual) causing wild engine braking but I'm not sure anymore...
