I have no doubt that your car has significant wind noise. However, if it is due to the design of the mirrors, there is really nothing BMW can do about it at this point besides changing the design for future models. What can they do at this point? Rip off the mirrors from the body? It definitely sounds like there may be a design flaw, but it in no way is a safety issue, which is the primary reason that a recall is issued. My advice is to leave it alone and turn the music up a little louder.
