I just purchased a new seal on September 29th 2010. Per the BMW dealer. The NEW P/N is now 54 -10-7-245-551. The OLD number was 54 -13- 7- 117-551. It looks to be the same as the old number. I will install it this weekend!!! I cannot wait to stop hearing the "wind" sound.

Did this today to my 08 550i. My old seal wasnt leaking water, but there was definite wind noise above 40mph. Took me about an hour and the noise was dramatically reduced. The hardest part is getting the old adhesive off and getting a clean surface.
You can buy the seal on Bavauto for $31 and 8 bucks shipping. Definitely worth the money and effort!

I have to remember this post in about four weeks once I get some time! I definitely have wind noise and I just hate it. Thanks for the good info everyone!
