Hello!
Since I have my 530d I have a whistle as soon as I pass the bar of the 200km/h. Its seems to come from the central console! BMW do not know from where the problem can come. Nothing found... Somebody with you it already have this problem? In more it is rather strong!

Welcom on board - Here is the link I started - just to let you know that we are not alone. I am very frustrated with this problem since I can hear it sometime at 85 miles/h and hate to think that the windshield seal needs to be replaced for it to go away ... but it looks like the seal is the problem - so the next challenge is to convince my dealer that they need to fix this for free without scratching the frame ... good luck and rgrds /z

hi,
i had the issue a couple of times and had the dealer exchange the windscreen 2 times.
strangeways it seemed to come back after a while.
now i found out the reason, via i-drive you can select how strong or soft fresh air is transported into the car. if you select soft, it creates that noise. try changing it to medium or strong and the noise shall be gone.
please post some feedback if it helped!

Serieusement, j'ai aussi un l?ger sifflement a?rodynamique vers 220 km/h ; puis il disparait et revient plus intens?ment au del? de 250 km/h.
Evidemment, quand je m'en plains aupr?s de mon concessionnaire, il me prend pour un fou ! Bon alors, soit je reste sous les 200, soit je me prom?ne entre 230 et 240 ...

I?ve that noise since a few weeks.
It is nothing with the fan. I tried all speedings also soft, medium and hard no change.
Guess it?s from the windshield.
