Secondly, not sure how fixing this in the LCI or next model is going to help us - unless we'll buy the next car. I don't have much hope. But at least it springs eternal

Im a little confused as to where that picture is on the window, is your car black? or is that glass on either side of the rubber?

Excellent, thank you
Will investigate... Cars booked in for the 20th for a collection of niggles and wind noise is on the job card also.

I don't have much wind noise yet but has anyone else noticed a good size gap between the front door interior trim panel and the B pillar molding? I can actually see about an inch of the Estoril Blue door frame from the interior. If this was mentioned previously I apologize. This might be causing some additional noise

I'll take some when I pick the car up from service later today. From the interior, it's from the back edge of the front door interior trim panels to the B pillar. Very obvious if you look but it took me over a month to notice. Very odd looking.

Since I don't have the car, this is a different pic I saw. It stands out even more when it's Estoril blue and staring you in the face

This is nothing new. The E90 was the same. You definitely notice it more with lighter coloured cars. I don't believe this has any impact on the noise though.

The wind noise is probably another way to help and warn North American drivers that they MUST drive below 70 mph. Clever, very clever BMW. They think of everything.

Should the car be really quiet inside at 30+ mph? I can hear wind noise from both sides, but not sure if it is normal or not. Sounds like it is even on the both sides of the car. I thought maybe it was around the outside mirror area but I'm not good at pinpointing.

Funny things electric seats. Always had problems with them on my cars, so this time I did not spec them on the BMW. Don't need them anyway as I'm the only driver, they increase the weight of the car and can often go wrong. Less electrical adjustments mean fewer problems.
