    I think carpets are the major signs of age in E34

    The car doesn't rattle and the engine's louder than the exhaust. puurfect! and then the stero overpowers everything else.

    I was just about to post something very similar, but since you already said most everything I was going to, I'll just second yours.

    In my 16 years of experience with my '89 535, I found that the noisiest thing was worn tires. There isn't as much isolation in the suspension as in other cars, I suppose. For the most part, installation of Mich Pilot Sport 2's solved the noise problem. Otherwise, it was a fairly quiet car for its category and age.

    Valve adjustment quietened down my car a fair bit. Worth checking if it hasn't been done for a while.
