I believe that iīve found the source of this windshield wind noise.
I discovered that the driver fender isnīt simetrical with the passenger fender on the inside top.
The right fender has this little wind deflector as it approaches the windshield, on the inside, that the other fender doesnīt have. Furthermore the left fender is fixed, on two points, beneath the hood hinge whereas the right one is atached in one point only beneath the hood hinge.
Know, before i go get a new fender, can somebody tell me if this could originate wind noise on windshield. I must say that i have replaced all rubbers around windows until i found that unsuitable fender. I think thatīs a coupeīs fender.
Thankīs for reading.

Diamond schwarz.
I think PO had an accident and made a hell of a lousy job in replacing that fender.

I don't think it is a fender. Are you sure the plastic piece is not missing from the top of your fender by the windscreen?

Check your lifting pads, i read a service bulletin from BMW that said that these cause weird wind noises and to check them first when a car came in with those symptoms.
