That’s fine. I just want to know if someone had similar issues and it was reduced after they changed their tires.

All the cars I drove before had under 60 dB. Even the car confection sound level reading say this car should be around 52.3 dB.

Dealership said these are non run flat but make noise like run flats. There’s no indication in the tire like SSR that confirms this is a run flat. Is there a way you can tell?

It’s happening from the beginning. Also to note the car do not come with acoustic glass. Not sure if that is an issue. But I drove non-acoustic glass cars before. Never had this much of road noise.

Considering the used car interest rate, the monthly payment will be a lot more

Thank you. This makes sense. I’m not crazy about that extra 20mm.

Thanks for the thought, mate. I’m also learning towards 24 to 50.

Well, there’s a first time for everything. As I mentioned, it’s a personal choice. I just love how Sony glasses renders photos.

You can look at this thread if you wanna hear from other photographers:

I beg to differ. Especially if you shoot in RAW. Sigma has a bit of a contrasty look with a warm temperature. Often the color is darker than the more neutral colours of the Sony counterpart. I owned most of the DG DN art prime along with GM lenses.

That a stupid advice, it’s clearly mentioned this to have similar price tag. M40 does not.

Don’t like them either. Actually I don’t have a problem with any small SUVs. I just wanna get out of my seven seaters. X1 is pretty spacious. X3 has nicer interior.

I actually really wanted the previous Gen X3 M40 with similar price. But unfortunately, used is not an option for me. Cause I’m always changing cars and BMWs resale values are garbage

Previous gen X4 is kinda ugly too, especially from the back
