Excessive wind noise : moonroof ?

My CPO 2015 M235i seem to have excessive wind noise when traveling at speeds above 45 MPH. When it's above 65 MPH, the volume of the wind noise is higher.

I have never heard this before in my other Bimmers.

Sent it in and shop says:
Quote:
raised front left of sunroof and raise rear left. raised moonroof glass to proper levels.
The window noise has dropped in volume by about 40% but it is still distinctly there.

Going to send it again.

Anyone seen this before?

It was the outer seal. They replaced it.

I cannot feel a difference between the old and new and cannot see any visual difference either but it fixed it.

Is there a Non-BMW windshield installed in the vehicle? I've seen this happen as well where the glass is just slightly not the right dimensions and doesnt allow alot of the seals and trim to fit properly

I wouldn't know if the windshield was not up to specs. It's a CPO car. The original wind noise came from the roof and it was clearly the moonroof.
They replaced the outer seal and the noise is gone.
