My Ride: 2007 BMW 550i w/SMG - JetBlack - Dinan Software - Dinan Exhaust - Anthracite Trim - Anthracite Headliner - Sport Package
Took the car in yesterday because the car was low on oil, someone pushed in my PDC sensor in the rear and the windshield whistles worse now at any speed over 100. It is ridiculously loud. I picked up the car this morning and they said they could not diagnose the problem because they would not drive it that fast.
So my question is how many have had this repaired by the dealer under warranty?

I had a same problem and it was a chrome strip around a back window, took me week to found that out.
I do not have any chrome trim with the sport package and it definately is coming from the front.

It's a known problem that is covered.
Your dealer will not charge you for it.

I am waiting for car to be delivered in Sep (I did ED in Aug) and will ask dealer to fix, if they ever heard of this problem.

It's not the chrome, it's the glue.
