| Description of the problem | I own a '06 3 series with the sport suspension and i have barely put 11k miles on the car when i started to notice a loud humming noise. I took the car to the dealer and i was told that it was a tire issue and that they needed to be replaced. I currently have an issue driving the car in rain or snow if the car continues to have cupped tires and i should not have to pay $1500. 00 because of bad tires or suspension. *jb |
