Wind Noise A Pillar/Side Mirror
Just got my new i5 M60 last week and loving it apart from this annoying sound. When driving over 70km/h (43mph) I get noticeable wind noise from the A Pillar/ Side mirror area.
It's very noticeable with gusts of wind. I can;t tell if it's just the outside noise (with poor window noise isolation) or a leak into the cabin. I've also compared with my wife's iX which is barely has any wind noise. All the seals/trims look intact Anyone else noticed this? Or has an idea for a fix?

I notice the same thing. I think it's both a design issue and the fact that there's no engine noise so you only hear wind noise.

I’ve not noticed it at all, but my hearing isn’t that great anymore.

A number of video reviews have mentioned this, others have not. Not sure what to make of that, and I can’t comment as I don’t have a G60.

I’m aware of some wind noise but nothing major- I’m driving freeways on a very regular basis, but never thought it was a broken seal on my window.

Just back from a trip and took my M60 on the freeway here - I turned the audio off and was running my AC on “very low”. I can’t say I noticed any change kick in at 45mph, or that wind noise was exceptionally noticeable.

That noise comes from the design of the side mirrors. It does that to all the M cars.
