We know the W208 is hell for tire noise, I am also fed up with all the tire and road noise and I'm trying to figure out something for a fix. How much did it help for you to dynamat your car?

well...mine was built as a show car..mainly for the stereo, so pretty much everything that would sit still got a layer of dynomat. Trunk lid, spare-tire well, floors, doors, quater panels..didn't touch the roof though.

My best friend did his M3 and it felt no faster than a regular 330i after he did it (of course, exaggeration, think about it).

It will take a lot of time/efforts to "dynamat" the car. But it is a good improvement.

I actually owned car audio stores for years, I just never had any experience with the W208's performance on noise, nor have I ever seen a car have SO MUCH road noise and be such a heavily padded car already.
Are there rubber dampers on the coil hats? It doesn't seem like the chassis is separated enough from the axles. Maybe some body bushings.......

Tire selection is crucial on these cars, unless you take the time out to take it apart and dynamat the interior. Otherwise you'll hear a lot of road noise with noisy tire designs - above and beyond what the stock setup is like.
