Major soundproofing project results on my m235i

Long story short, it worked but the results showed otherwise. Worth it if you like to work on cars, not worth it if you're expecting a Lexus LS.
When I was car shopping, I wanted a firm and responsive ride, it had to be manual, and prefer 6 cylinders to a turbo 4. I test drove the Genesis G70 sport manual, but ended up with a used M235i. The G70 is quieter, comes with the LSD, and has better steering feel, but the M235i was better in power, shifter/clutch feel, value (used car), and size. Unfortunately, I found it to have a lot more road/tire noise than I found comfortable. My car has 30k miles and 2014 dated Supersports that were giving a lot of tire noise roar on the highway that I found comfortable, and it was causing a ringing resonance in my ear that was giving me a headache. Tires are not cupped or flat spotted and I just did an alignment.
I previously added sound dampening material to the front doors and front wheel wells of my last DD, a VW Jetta, with great success. It wore 4 year old touring class all season Michelins Primacy. The weird thing is that although the soundmeter app on my phone (uncalibrated) showed slightly larger dB on the Jetta, it felt a lot quieter due to lack of tire roar and that low frequency resonance.
