Maybe a little quieter than the f30. Very quiet unless in sport mode at WOT. Then no so quiet. And if you keep at wot. Then around 120 plus the passengers start screaming. Not quiet.

Mine doesn't. It used to confuse me on very windy days. I would think my alignment was off. I eventually figured out it was the wind pushing the car around, but I just couldn't hear it. If the G20 is quieter, I can't imagine it makes a noticeable difference.

If you look closely at the spot where window glass meets the door, above the locking pin, you'll see that you're able to squeeze something (like a 1mm thick rubber, or plastic, or whatever you want) into two "lines" between door panel and window. One line is closer to the door, other is closer to the glass. When I push something into the second one, closer to the glass, above the locking pin (you can experiment a little, my "spot" is few cm on the right, not exactly above), whistle dissapears. My car is awesome, but three things are really driving me crazy. This sound from the drivers door, rattle from the opposite door, and boot rattle. I feel like going to the dealership, leaving car there and tell them not to call me until it's solved. But what I will drive then? No loaners here. |

Did anyone from the US check their front windows? Are they dual pane? I just checked my fully spec'd M340i (I'm in Canada) and it's only single pane. Pretty disappointing to see, but it's still quieter than my B9 S5.

i have test driven a m340i on the german autobahn. the traffic let me only do 220kmh for a short distance but it was surprisingly quiet. my 5 series f11 is not that quiet. i was really impressed. same with my previous mercedes e550 ... the g20 is a real benchmark in its class in my opinion.

The car is very quiet, until some annoyance comes up, like that whistle in the left door, or rattle in the right door, or boot rattle or sunroof rattle (for people who have it)... That can be really, REALLY annoying, especially because car is so quiet in general and these things can drive you mad... |

I think dual pane glass (driver and co-driver) was never mentioned in G20 North American specifications. In EU market, this is a $250 option.

Mine is dead quiet, which kind of annoys me because I feel like that is why they had to introduce the artificial engine noise. Since the motor is already quiet and the insulation of the cabin is good. My F30, I hear everything, the wind, the tires, etc.

hello All. I recently got my 330i like 3 weeks ago. still under 500miles, but had this whistle/wind noise or whatever it is which I never heard from any car before, since the first day. Then I found this thread https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1478202
and it fixed it. If it sounds similar to ur problem, check out the solution posted there (low tech version of hitting and pushing the seals w/ my fist). Hope it helps. Last edited by chamjin; 01-02-2020 at 01:04 PM.. Reason: edit: to clarify the low tech solution that fixed mine |

I went to the dealership today, we got a little further about driver's door whistle.
They say it could be issue of cabin pressure equalization and they need to see if anyone else had the same problem and what is the solution. Whistle goes away when window is open even 1 mm, but what I didn't figure out until today is that any window can be opened for 1 mm and whistle in the driver's door will be gone. That relates to their cabin pressue theory. So, when I parked the car in my garage, with no wind, I turned on the vents and of course there was a whistle, and then I opened the boot door with my remote and whistle promptly dissapeared. If anyone has more info, it would be appreciated. When I have more, I'll let you know. |

Hmm, I drive in the highway to work and I don't recall noticing wind noise. I will check on Monday morning with the radio turned off to see if I hear it and will let you know.

At least it's an option in the US. I spec'd my Canadian M340i with every option and package and it still only comes with single pane side windows (the only acoustic glass is the windshield).
