Noise from window seal
Hey guys, turn the sound on and check out this video:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/9gHDQ6nw9iNL4oaWA There is a wind noise that comes from the driver side window seal sometimes at high speed. Does any one know what this could be? Has anyone else felt this? I have my car scheduled for a checkup at the dealership but it's obviously hard to replicate. Thanks!

Good to know I'm not the only one with this issue.

I got the same noise at 80mph on my old car (Audi) after it came out of a body shop where they straightened out the driver window frame among other things. It was a minor accident. I could not figure out what was doing it for the life of me. Something must have been out of shape for sure.

I've found over the years and in multiple cars, that sometimes this sound which seems like window seal issue, is actually the sound of the wind makes with your wheels, especially at higher speeds. Just throwing this out there if you are looking to confirm this. You can confirm this easily as I've done by sticking a GoPro on car exterior close to wheel-well and go for a drive.

UPDATE: So I got my car back after 2 days from the dealership. They claimed that just under the windshield near the wiper blades, the plastic piece was a little loose. They removed and reinstalled the whole part. The car's windshield was never replaced so they were not sure how it came loose. They drove the car up to 90 MPH but could not replicate the wind noise.
I took the car back and drove it around and could still hear it from the driver side window. I'll take it back to them eventually when I get some time.

I have the same noise at 80 or 90, typically only with a crosswind or going around a bend, though. I don't think I notice it straight-line on a calm day so it hasn't bothered me. I also rarely hover in that range, I'm either at 75 or passing through that to something... a tad higher...
My service manager reminds to me to be happy I'm enjoying myself in an M car and turn up the music when I complain of a noise... I do so and realize the last time I had the media volume up the channel was tuned to Kidz Bop.

Sorry to bump this old thread but just bought an m4 and have this same exact issue. When I drive around 70+ the same wind noise happens and when I lower the window a little the whistle goes away. I was thinking maybe that someone tried to break in the car and made the window alignment off. Did you ever find out what caused this?

I have this same issue to a lesser degree on my PASSENGER side. I can't even replicate it for my S.A because of COVID times they're not allowed to be inside my car with me and they cannot drive past the speed limit to "replicate" the issue.
I seem to notice it the most around 80 mph. Like a seal is leaking somewhere. |

Funny, I'm noticing wind noice from the drivers window too. Sounds like the window isn't all the way up.
Gummi Pflege to the rescue. German cure all.

I too have wind noise from the drivers side window also. I had my dealer check it and they told me its from the mirror. I don't believe that. I'm going to have them look at it again because on the highway it's really annoying.
