My Ride: 2008 Silverstone II E60 M5 2012 E70 AW X5 50i Sport w/ LCI Aero Kit and Rocker Panels
When I take my car between 130-150mph, I get this sound of a whistle or wind noise that sounds like its coming through the iDrive screen. I was on M5Board recently and a bunch of members experienced similar problems and said it was due to a faulty mounted windshield from the factory. They were replaced and the sound was gone, but some had to pay for the new windshield.
I went to the dealer and they obviously told me that because they couldn't replicate the sound since they're not allowed to take my car that fast (Hahahahaha!), they have no way of justifying that as a replacement issue.
Has anyone experienced this sound in their E60? If so, did you have the windshield replaced? What did the dealer say?

"When I take my car between 130-150mph"
It must be a daily problem for you.

you should go to Dealership and let them drive it so they can hear it (it's only accurs on 150mph right..)

I'm thinking I should just take a bat to my windshield and just claim it on insurance.

I have no such noises at those speeds, but I did have my original windshield replaced at 1300 miles. If it isn't noticeable until 130mph+, I would probably let it be rather than risk a leaking/noisy windshield replacement.
