Your findings is what I was afraid of.

I asked my dealer about new mirror housings and they have no knowledge of this.
I didn't have a BMW before, so I cannot compare with E90, but you are suggesting that relative to F30 at, say, 140kph, the E90 is quiet?

I don't mind short bursts of wind noise, but 330d or 328i or 335i is a car you drive at high speeds on the highway - maybe for 1-2 hours if the commute is long enough. 2 hours of serious swooshing is not what I imagine being "premium".
