What does make a differnace is if a front window is partially opened, close the window and the noise come back. It certainly appears to be a resonace at a give speed relevant to the air density, however if its wet it does not give that wind whistle noise. Quite a problem, but with my engineering background I will track this down, it may take some time.
Happening at those speeds sure make it a lot easier to track down than my case at 180Kmh+...

A friend of mine suggested it might have to do with the doors/panoramic roof isolation rubbers; and they have some "sprays" at the service centers that take care of that.
