I've been into the dealer today, we did a back-to-back comparison with their demo car. 1st off was mine, the buffeting wind noise was easily heard. The I drove their 35D, it was considerably worse.

The dealer is ordering new door and window seals. They know the 35D for sure has the latest spec door seals, not sure about my car. It was interesting though that they've modified the door seals....

The dealer was careful set expectations that they will try to reduce the noise but won't promise anything (good BMW training!). The idea is to set the new seals to pull the doors in about an extra mm to create a better seal. If that doesn't help then they'll try window seals. My driver's door rattle maybe the window flexing in the window seal. They are also getting me yet another seat cover (the replacement is saggy too) plus new foam.
