anyone had this experience or any ideas how to fix as i guess the dealer wont have it happen if i take it in for a road test!!

PS are rattley dashboards common?

appart from that am very happy with the car!!

Mines the same

Hi All, think this might be the door mirrors. The first poblem I had with my car was the whistling at 55 + mph. Dealer looked at several things including poor fitting ariel on the roof. Finally solved it by replacing the door mirrors. All sorted and no more whistling.

Thats a very good point, a few weeks ago I had someone with me in the car and told him about the noise. Later on a motorway the noise occurred and he said it's from the nearside mirror.

i guess it could be but the guy on the video did mention that BMW were aware of the problem with windscreen noise!
just a thought when its crosswindy again and making the noise i will try folding the passenger wing mirror in to see if that makes a difference!

caesar i have confirmed the noise is not the same as peter had with his wing mirrors!!

Thanks for the information, you have quite a long time to wait but will be very interested to know the outcome.

had my windscreen replaced on 22nd feb and had a fair cross wind on the way home and all was quiet so hopefully cured. it was also noticable quieter in the car as well.

I have a June 07 build MCS and have the 'wind noise' occasionally.....if there is a strong head or cross wind. Usually starts making the noise at the legal speed limit or above. I spoke to the dealer recently and they said it would need a new windscreen and seals, but have not had it done yet.
