Regretting New 220CDi Coupe What to do

[V12]

I find continentals quite good on the noise aspect.
I have found Bridgestone and Pirelli both noisy though!

Dunlop and Michelin have both been quiet for me as well.

Look on the bright side, all the time you spend here telling us how much you dislike the car saves you from driving it ; )

I have Pirelli P zero on a E350 cdi coupe and I thought how quiet they are, but then I have just come from BMW Bridgestone run flats

OP you need man up. You found out you don't like diesel which is fine, I don't like it either which is why I've never owned one. The problem is you found out after committing yourself to spend a large some of money on it.
Just put up with it for the next 2-3 years or however long the lease is and when the lease is over get a 3-5 year old petrol that has already suffered depreciation.

Your other option is to take a massive depreciation hit on a car you've barely driven.

To a point you are correct. But whilst I seem to be whinging, I am also sharing a buyers experience, which may help in some small way other potential buyers to think carefully and avoid the misatke I made.

I forgot to mention in my last post. When I mentioend my displeasure to the sales guy at the MB dealer. He said he was surprised and 'Oh well there's not much I can do about that"

There are a few really quiet comfy tyres out there now, some of the Dunlops are rated at 68db and are really quiet.

Have you got 18's on your car?

Maybe ask the dealer if you can swap for a car with 17's?
I am sure they would jump at this as 18's sell far better.

Edit: Has it got Continentals on it??

I don't see it is as whinging. You bought a product and you are dissatisfied with it, which is understandable. But getting rid of it at this point is really expensive,I'd guess at least 10k.
I think you'd be better off changing the rims like others have said and getting something you actually like next time.
Think of it this way, by the time the lease is up, you could lease a 3 year old S class for about the same price as your c class.
