same noise at high speed
I also have this very annoying resonance at high speed, in my case normally around 80 mph.
My car is basic model 18dSE sDrive with standard wheels/tyres. Looking forward to hear if jimr gets it fixed OK. |

Just left mine at the service today, just hope they fix it properly without any more issues.
Meanwhile, I'm driving one of the new 520 as "replacement car". |

Same Here with the noise
It was a big disapoitment for me to hear the noise the very first time in a Highway.
It starts at 120 km and goes to 140-160 km. The big question. Can we do something ( Add a spoiler.. ) ? Did BMW adress this issue ? Tks, Rodrigo Viegas |

Just got my X1 back (no more 520 test-drive. and... no more noise at high speeds! Yes!
(As I was getting home, at some point it started making "more" noise through the air vents, but thats a "normal" wind noise, that stops if you close the air recirculation - nothing troublesome, and it might be caused by more strong wind in that area; but seemed louder than I have ever heard before... Will have to check for it in the upcoming days.) As for the new 520... It's a nice car. Not as powerful as my X1 (184 vs 204cv) but the new 8 speed auto-gearbox is awesome! It also had confort/normal/sport/sport+ settings, that really did make a difference in handling, and the lighted accents on the interior (door handles and frames) are also great. As for what I didn't like: the door storage compartments are nearly useless compared to the X1, and even on the armrest, there's not much place to put anything (for me, that am always carrying around stuff, I wouldn't know where to put it on the 5.) The bottom part of the dashboard is a screen that shows lots of info... it looks great; but it isn't that great with strong sunlight... you can't really see it due to reflections and such. (Also, this 5 had aluminum trims, it was reflected like hell in front windshield and side windows during the day.) I still prefer my X1, but I wouldn't mind having the new 8 gear auto-box and the dynamic control modes (confort/sport) in it. |

The new X3 has both: 8 speed auto and Electronic Damping Control (EDC) + Driving Dynamics Control (DDC). But it does not have the 2.0 203hp diesel engine.

Is the TSB (technical service bulletin) number known for this issue?
I have an appointment to fix the same issue with my car, it would be nice to be able to notify the dealer, so that any parts that might be needed can be ordered. |

I don't know a TSB number, but as far as I know from some X1 drivers in a German board (http://www.motor-talk.de/forum/windg...-t2684572.html), the problem can be solved by adding some kind of adhesive tape under the sealing of the windshield or by refitting the windshield.

Fixed !!
Hallo All
Got my X1 back yesterday and the noise is gone ! I spoke to the foreman who said that the problem was cured by applying the special tape along the top of the windscreen opening and applying additional bonding agent along the top. Not the first case either that my dealership had dealt with. |

I have the annoying resonance and just this morning took it to my dealer (Vines of Guildford). However when we took it out with their chief technician it didn't happen at 80 mph. He had not heard of the problem on X1s but was sympathetic and said this often happens with wind related noises. They will be getting back to me after searching BMW data for any info.
I described the fix detailed by jimr above and the technician thought it all quite plausible. Question for jimr: what is the name and location of your dealer, so might be able to get a reference to give to other dealers Many thanks |

The currente noise that annoys me is a vibration noise that comes from the driver door - but just sometimes - when driving through rough roads. I mentioned at the service but I guess they didn't do anything about it. :/ |

Thanks jimr
Vines, my dealer, have now acknowledged there is a standard BMW fix for this problem and my car is booked in next week. They have also confirmed it is to do with the windscreen and will involve putting in extra sealant. So the message to everyone else has to be just demand your dealer searches the BMW database of X1 issues and get it booked in... |

Hi,
Apparently, this problem only affects X1 cars produced until a certian date.... A question to those of you with the noise problem: on what date was your X1 built? My sdrive18d was built Feb 2010, and does NOT have this problem.... |
