2019 Z4 wind noise?

mjonesjr8 · 03-11-2021, 03:07 PM

I know it's a softtop and not ever going to be a quite as a hardtop but, there seems to be a lot of extra wind noise over on the passenger side than the drivers side when the top is up. Anyone else noticed it?
Only about 2200 miles on it. I put a set of these on the '20 Supra and I'm sure they would fit the Z4 just not sure if it would help as much.

hmmm. my car is super quiet with the top up. As far as wind noise goes, pretty much zero and as quiet as any car. The only difference I notice is cars that are right next to me or right behind me, I hear a bit more than a hard top car but no wind noise.

There is no wind noise in my Z4 with the top up and windows closed. Maybe your passenger side window isn't closing all the way.

It appears that it is, the drivers side is very quite can't figure it out. Guess I'll have to let my wife drive and me sit over there and see if I can tell where it's coming from.

No wind noise but the tire noise here in AZ is bad with top up, so much so that I'll never be able to hear wind. Bad roads which deteriorate quickly with the heat.

Mine is quiet except for the bumpy ride

Mine is very quiet. I wasn't expecting that going from a 2011 Z4 with the retractable hard top to the 2019 soft top.

So I have some wind noise coming from passenger side too. I had a friend drive the car and it's literally air coming in on bottom left of window.

Doesn't happen drivers side. It's not a huge problem so will probably get BMW to look at it next time it goes in.

I had the exact same problem with my 06 E85 3.0i and the dealer adjusted the seals and it went away, my 20 G29 has no wind noise but does have an annoying buzzing coming from the passenger side rear speaker which goes away with temperatures under 40f which I have to get fixed on the next service.

Top on mine is rarely up but it does not seem that loud when it is up and is a bunch quite than my M4 ever was!
