doc.. you wont be the first one to make this call. And wont be the last because, when I buy my next car, I will more than likely opt for a different brand like MB or Audi.

That is exactly my concern too. It is a great car, nice design interior and exterior, nice engine, handling, etc.. but the cabin noise is unacceptable. Even a Hyndai and Kia have quieter cabins. :(

The only way I can get back to BMW is not to buy their cars in the future. I just can not believe the poor standards and shoddy construction.

I agree 100% with your problems.

I have the same. Is it just our cars or do all X3 owners have it and are immune to it?
