Hoping someone may have come across this. Z4m e85.
Have a wind blowing noise very faint behind the dash. Occurs from about 10mph onwards, does not get louder with speed. Like there's a hole somewhere on the bulkhead allowing air through to the dash.
Tried fans and ac on and off. Different fan blower positions but does not change.
Becomes very slightly louder when turning gently left or right at 10mph and above.
Any ideas?
Cheers

If it changes on turning, then look at where the steering column comes through the bulkhead.

So front left wheel bearing gone. Any recommendations for front wheel bearing either oem or aftermarket?

Went for the FAG front wheel bearing as from searches on this and other forums FAG mentioned a few times.
£131 for two if discount code still available https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315238661664, the ebay site states not compatible with z4m but called seller Car Parts in Motion and they confirmed fits z4m and the bearings do fit as have fitted them.
