I don't have an iPod (or any MP3 player for that matter.) I was listening to Sirius.

250 kmh many times ( I still have the speed limit )
And 200 kmh a pair of times in Switzerland, that is absolutely crazy![Big Grin](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/biggrin.gif)
(if they catch you I think you will visit jail for real)

That still seems odd, but I'll have them check it out. Is there a TSB for it? I already know that if I give them the description I gave, there's NO WAY they're going to think it's coming from a windshield leak. Even I'm still skeptical on that one.

Ah...your signature says iPod/USB so I assumed you had one.
I'm telling you it's Poltergeist.

Does it only happen over 100mph? I was waiting for it when I was over 100mph and it chimed in right at 120 mph, a very high pitched whistle. It didn't sound electronic or like static.

Yes, it's only over 100. It doesn't sound like a whistle to me. Not to date myself, but it's like from the old days if you tried to play a data cassette tape in an audio deck, just not nearly as loud and harsh.
I printed out the posts that I found and the master mechanic promised me to follow up on that. Sure enough, two weeks later he called me back and told me that I can bring my car in to be fixed - and he said basically the same thing I heard from the folks on the internet - Apparently, small bubbles inside the Windshield sealing material are causing this problem - this goes back to when it was installed back in the factory.
Reluctantly, left my car there and two days later had the car back. Took it to 149mph on a back-road ( no sole was on that road of course ) but no whistles this time. So, I would suggest you check with your dealer first and tell them that you can hear the whistle on a windy day when there is a head-wind at around 75 mph :^)

I have only gone up to 105 mph and I drove the car on the autobahn
I know I'm a pu$$y
I did Euro delivery and I was told when I got the car not to exceed 100 mph and/or 4500 rpm
In retrospect I should have thrown that rule out the window. When else would I have the opportunity to let the car loose with no fear of getting a ticket?
Here at home I'll normally cruise at 70-80 mph no higher. I might have gotten her past 90 once but that's it.
As much as I'd love to max her out, i think I'd hate a ticket even more.
