My Ride: Metallic gray '05 545i Sport Black Leather with HUD, Step, Nav, PDC, CWP, K&N Air Filter, Black RPI scoop, Black painted calipers, 35% F1 Pinnacle tint, 19" RDSport RS-2F rims with Continental ExtremeContact DWs.
I plan tomreplace my sunroof seal this weekend, but even with the sunroof open, I have a wind howl when I am driving at speeds between 47 and 57 or so MPH. Since this is the speed range I drive almost all the time in, it drives me nuts. Anyone else experience this? Anyone have a clue to a cause? Even when I replace the sunroof seal, the howl will still be there, even if I can't hear it inside the cabin. I'd like to eliminate it so it not there when the sunroof is open too. Thanks...

I've experienced a noise at similar speeds, but don't believe it is my sunroof seal; it's more like a "whirl" sound I believe it emanates from the GPS/Satellite aerial on the rear of the roof.
