Has anyone experienced wind noise coming from the top corners of the passenger and drivers windows when driving an excess of 120km/hr?

I recently when on a road trip and i noticed that after 120 wind noise started to increase as if air was leaking in through the windows....as if there wasnt a tight lock between the top corners of the windows and the weather stripping.

I just wanna know if anyone notices the same thing before i take it in for warranty check....i wanna know if its normal before the dealer lies to me...lol

I have the same problem! Even when i talking to people on my cellphone, they tell me that they can't hear anything.....its like im outside with some wind noise. F'ed up!

Im taking my car in, and you should too.....Don't take the dealers bullshit, you didn't pay 60k+ for a car to have wind noise. I test drove the new altima coupe and i couldn't hear SHIT, not even tire noise i was amazed....The only thing you would hear is your music or radio.

true that brother......when are you taking your car in? I am going to on monday.....i read up and there are others with this issue aswell....some have said that they can tighten the gap between the window and seal....

I am gonna try not to take the dealers bullshit....i just bought the car so im not to familiar with bmw yet...but im gonna go in there and talk to the bmw reps myself and not the shop service guys....

lemme know if you have any advice and when you are gonna take your car in...

Congrats on your car bro!

I'll probably take my car in on Monday, and i'll let you know what they say.

I have the same wind noise, its like air leaking in from the corner part of the window, it comes and goes with me. Must be pretty annoying on a long cruise.

Yea...it kinda is....it was more noticeable on the passengers side....and sunroof.....but yea...we are both gonna take it in..and we will post our revalations....godspeed to the both of us on our quest to the dealers.....those assholes..haha

[Gen_E92]

I have this problem too...gets pretty bad sometimes

I'm not sure if dealers are able to fix this...definitely keep us updated!

[GAM3OVR85]

I didn't have time to go to the dealership.....just wanted to let you guys know

[BMdblU]

An ex pointed it out to me a while back.. I was in denial, haha. I asked the dealer to check it out, they said it was sealed and everything looked fine. Of course.

[munich2007]

hey guys....i called the dealershipp..for an unrelated issue but i mentioned the wind noise and how i heard you can tighten the gap between the weather stripping and the window. he had heard of this and agreed that they would do that....so i have appt for next week to get it done...ill let you guys know how it went and wether it solves the problem....

go to the dealership you guys and be assertive! do your research...makes there job easier....hopefully my solution works

I've got the same issue. Has anyone found a solution?

Knowing BMW they will tell you that you once had the windows down, and therefore they will never work properly again.

[jeho]

its normal, its just the design of the aerodynamics of the car...

it has nothing to do with a 50k car and how this is a defect...
your not the only one, everyone has this...

go drive a subaru sti, at exactly 180km/hr, you hear a much much louder wind whirling noise related to the side view mirrors, its just how the wind flows through the cars aero..

I don't have the wind noise or maybe I just don't notice it. I always use the BT while driving and no one has complained about it. Maybe because the car is new and still has the virgin window seals

+1

I've never driven a car that had zero wind noise at high speeds. It's almost impossible, considering the tremendous amount of wind force 120km/h can produce.

LOL

i have noise coming from my sunroof when it's tilted at high speeds

[Motorchoco]

i just got a 09 e90 335i recently and found the same thing..!!

funny thing is, I switched straight from a 06 E90 330i to the 09 335i, and the first thing I notice in the 335i is the wind noise on highway (which I did not have on the 330i). It also sounds more like a small leak in the window rather than overall poor sound insulation.

The noise is definitely not excessive....I used to have an RSX and it probably has 5x more wind/road noise on the hwy compare to the 335i, but unlike the 335i, the noise came from all over the car instead of just the edge of the door & window.

I thought it was just a bad seal on my car....guess not.

LOL ya true enough - I pretty much always have the sunroof or windows open for air.

My guess is that I don't notice the wind noise because I only close them up to take a phone call. After the call ends they open backup.

I guess at that point anything would seem quiet. I will not to taint my ear with the windows down and see what happens.

no wind noise for me. i am a law abiding landed immigrant who never goes faster than the law allows, 100 km/h.
