I have a 73 3.0 with a ZF hp 22 with the dip stick on the driver’s side. I have owned several Bavaria and this the noisy car. One noise is the transmission, there is a hum that gets louder as you drive faster. I have changed the fluid and filter and it shifts fine. The front firewall sound deadening is missing. There is no Tran’s tunnel insulation as far as I know. The second area is the front windshield gasket is making wind noise. The third area is the rear muffler. I have a new rear muffler and I can hear it in the car coming from the back seat. Another issue is the doors, I have adjusted the doors but I still have to slam the doors to get them to close all the way and they make lots of metal on metal noise. I could use some new door frame gaskets but don't want to pay $400 for each door, is there an alternative? I don't expect my car to be as quiet as my 2004 BMW 530i but some improvement would be appreciated. I plan to redo the floor insulation in the future. Thanks
