Mirror gaskets have been replaced last week as per the TSB. In the first meters after picking up the X3 I noticed that traffic noise at slower speeds have lessened to a more acceptable level . These first meters are very important to me because that route was where we had tested my car with the technicians a couple of times and also their test car once for the same issue.
On the other hand the wind noise starting at 50 mph seems to have moved to around 65-75 mph and up now, and more like the classic wind noise obviously coming inside through the windows /seals and/or B pillars . Although not totally sure yet, I think replacing those gaskets would worth trying for those suffering from wind noise like me particularly at lower speeds. Having said that , I still think the insulation on the car needs improvement at door panels, window/door seals ,and B pillars as well as readjustment of the front doors on the tighter side is necessary.
