Whistling/Wind noise from passenger side window?
Hey yall. I have a newly-purchased '21 LCI model.
I'm experiencing a speed-based (but starts pretty much at 15+ MPH) wind noise from my passenger side window area. It's more prominent with the window down but my wife says it's still happening with the window completely closed, it's just quieter due to the sound rejection of the glass. At first I thought it might be that the port-installed CF mirror cap was not fully installed on the passenger side, but I inspected it and it looks to be identical around the seams as the driver's side which is silent. I don't see any obvious issues with the weather stripping / door seals. I'm starting to wonder if it might be something else. It's not bad enough for me to take it in just for that problem, given my break-in service will come up soon I'll likely just deal with it then if it's still unsolved. In the meantime, though, I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this issue. |

My car doesn't have this problem, but it does have a rattle when driving around. The car's trim also makes cracking sounds when u press down on it, and the driver's door hinge has a dry squeaking sound when you open/close the door, and you can hear it squeaking when soft close is used. They tried to fix this door squeak twice already, and while it is "better", you can still hear it. Oh, and I recently started noticing little cracks starting to develop on the climate display screen with only 3000 miles on the clock (this issue seems to be common and covered in another thread). So, to sum it up-the build quality of the M5 ain't the best. I would guess that it is rare for you to get a perfect 100% example, and you gotta ask yourself whether the issue is big enough for the dealer to start ripping apart your interior/exterior parts and putting stuff back together.

I had some whistling from the drivers side rear a/c vent right that's located right by the drivers ear. I had it closed and the rear a/c was on low-medium. I could hear it slightly with the radio off. Opening the vent or turning the rear a/c fixed it. Not sure if that's what you're experiencing, but worth a shot.

I notice the same wind/road noise around the driver's side door. It's particularly noticeable when there is a divider wall to the left of the car. I can't find where it's coming from, so please let us know if you figure it out.

So here is the update… took the car for a break-in service last Friday… drove around with SA, him driving and me in passenger seat… he heard the wind/road/whistling noise (whatever u want to call it) from driver's side window area and I also heard the same noise coming from the passenger side while I was sitting there for the first time … so it is definitely coming from both front window areas… and this was on a completely different highway from the one I initially started hearing the noise.
SA looked at STBs and there was nothing that he could find… I also checked door seals and fender grilles and everything was secured. It does not matter if I am driving next to concrete divider wall or in the most right lane… Again, the noise become more pronounced at speeds above 75mph and gets fairly loud at 85… and no, I can't slow down lol… Any suggestions or similar experiences Thank u all |
