My first thought is it could be the door mirror, but apparently this was removed to check when the car was being test driven.

I reported the issue to my dealer who after extensive test driving suggested that the door seal so be replaced.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I had something similar on my VW Scirocco and this door seal treatment fixed it -
Hi all,
Very very happy with my recent purchase as some of you may know, however there has been a minor niggle that I'm hoping someone may be able to assist with......
Shortly after picking up the car I noticed what appeared to be some wind noise from the drivers side window. I reported the issue to my dealer who after extensive test driving suggested that the door seal so be replaced.
The door seal has been done, but the noise is still there. Having driven the car around with the window open due to the good weather it has become apparent that the 'whistle' is indeed coming from somewhere else, but is loud enough to still hear when the window is closed....
My first thought is it could be the door mirror, but apparently this was removed to check when the car was being test driven.
Does anyone one have any experience with anything similar?? It is quite annoying to be honest and I just want to get it sorted now!
I know the tech has done this, but i'm going to have a go at taping a few of the bits up to see if I can isolate it. My ear is clearly tuned in to it!
Any help would be very welcome!
Thanks,
Nick

Put the top up?
Can't hear any rattles, squeaks or whistles in mine, above the roar from the rear tyres
My car is less of a rattler than my old GT3 - must be the suspension?
Got to be a process of elimination. Tape up all gaps in / around the mirror. Go for a drive. If noise persists then it's probably not the mirror. If the noise has stopped, remove tape a section at a time until the noise comes back. Tell dealer where the problem is and get them to fix it. Sorted.
You can hear wind noise above the tyre roar! You hearing must be better than mine.
I'm very happy with my new CS except for the tyre roar on poor road surfaces... Good luck find the source of your whistle.

- you can order it from any BMW dealer, spray a little bit of sponge and wipe it around all the seals...it's worth a go.
