The last one was a Chrysler 200. Horrible car to drive, but absolutely no wind noise! How can this be?
If it is that bad get it fixed, it can't be right, as it is not every F30 that has wind noise. I had a hire 320d ED the other week for 3-days, and that was typical of any 3-series I've driven over the years. Not totally free of wind noise, but nearly so. Even after my 'quiet' 5-series it wasn't something I'd see as an issue.
