Open you front window and you will see and feel a indent in the middle. Or check your build Sticker and you will have code " PDW" on it

So yes, after a 50mile M1 trip today - now I can tell! Lol - thanks for bringing it to my attention. ;-)
I have to have the stereo off though for me to
Notice it.

Simple fix; noisier exhaust or turn up the stereo.

Speaking of exhausts I can remember mentioning exhaust noise coming through the speakers on a C7 I test drove and the dealer confirming that. After driving another one this weekend the penny has now dropped-its the exhaust note I can hear coming from the back. In my defence I drive a 'loon and so am not used to exhaust note coming from the large avant space behind me and hence my confusion! Honest guv. :oops:
Still-the dealer agreed with me at the time!! :roll:

Proving that dealers don't know anything.

I think the front double-glazing on facelift cars considerably adds to the sensation that the noise is being 'funneled' from the back of the car. Try sitting in the back of the car - the exhaust is really loud at full chat, but in the front it is really quite muted. Weird.
