F30 Wind noise issue

Ok, so the issue is sorted out.

In the belly plate (shiny aluminium plate below sump) there were round holes causing the noise. They plugged the holes with plastic rivets.

I am amazed at the issue and how it was fixed. As the sounds was clearly coming from my A-pillar's top corner.

They also tried rubber plugs in the belly pan and it made no difference. Eventually they replaced the entire belly pan with a revised one and the problem was gone.

I'm glad it got sorted dees.

It's strange to me that you had such a fight with them. I've only always had awesome service from BMW. Try owning an Isuzu. Man, you'll pull out the hair from your scalp!!!

lol -well they battled to find the problem. Insisted the tyres were causing the issue initially. Then thought it was the beading on the front window. Then tried the rubber plugs and eventually the revised belly pan which took months to get here from Germany.
