When driving more than 215 Km/h (135 mph) there is an annoying very high buzzing sound coming from the middle section of the dash board, or maybe the windshields lower middle section.
Car is currently at my dealer for investigations.
Anybody else experienced this ?

I think that my 530d is a little bit sensible to the wind.
You know those cross winds that sometimes....drives me crazy.
I have the 122, 17", with the 245/45.
Do the 18"make it feel better?
And there is a tremendous strange wind noise in the front near the rain blades after the 200/220 km/h......
The 730d doesn't moves at all no matter wind or no wind ....
Mine is 28th April production. Running fine with 5000 kms except for the high speed strange noise.....
Please let me know when you have news!

I thought I am the only one with that noise, since my dealer gave me "the look" (you know, the one and only look that is telling you that it is all YOUR fault
and he never heard about anything like it before, that's why it's not true and even if, it's still YOUR fault 
).However, they suspect the noise is maybe coming from the windshields rubber sealing...
And that's when I gave THEM "the look"
I'll post an update asap.
Hope to have news tomorrow, I really don't like the 520iA they gave me as a loaner.

I just talked to my dealer and they found the problem.
The problem is solved - they took the windshield out and glued it back in.
When this was originally done in the factory there was not enough glue at this one point in the lower middle of the windshield, for some unknown reason. So the wind went in there, right through the glue, making this annoying sound.
The solution for you (Tuga) is, to have your dealer replacing the glue, what can mean replacing the windshield. Sometimes the windshields break, when taken out.
However, have your dealer replacing the glue and your annoying sound is gone!
