This is my 5th 5 series and it seems much noisier than any of the earlier models. Has anyone else experienced this?

My F10 550i is noticeably quieter than my previous E60 528i. This holds true at all speeds.

I have the standard 18" RFT's on my 535i. The car is so quiet it's pretty unbelievable, IMO. I haven't found a noise issue with these RFT's, or those (17") on my previous 335i. The OP must have some issue if he is hearing lots of road noise, IMO.

Thank you all for your input. It's been very helpful. I know the runflats would contibute a little to the noise but if everyone finds it quieter then perhaps there is something else wrong. Made an appointment for service next week to check it out.
