G20 Wind Noise (Update: Fixed)

Arnieg · 06-19-2019, 10:14 AM

I hear a slight wind noise over @ 65Mph which seems to be near the A pillar on both sides. Does anyone else hear this or is this BMW normal?

I heard the same, it was actually one of the first things I picked up on when I did some highway driving during a test drive. The interior is definitely quieter than the F30, but the whistle definitely sticks out more than any noise the F30 was making at highway speeds.

This is a known issue, at least with the F30. Must have transferred over to the G20.

Got used to it. I reasoned that it is so noticeable because of the overall silence.

I must not hear this over my loud HK system

Only sounds I hear occur mysteriously from the back of the car ...it's creaking and clicking - and it's DRIVING ME NUTS!

Uh oh, hopefully the noises aren't from gremlins.

The wind noise which seemed to be coming from the A pillar on the 330 over 60mph stopped when I pushed the roof molding strips forward to seat with the windshield seal. Only moved @ 1/8 of an inch to close the gap. The only sound I have now is my radio.

How did you move the trim forward?

Arnieg · 07-03-2019, 01:07 PM

Just give it a slight push from the end of the strip near the back window and it will move.
