Did you manage to solve the problem?
I have exactly the same issue on my car[2011 3.5IS] and its got worse over the past 4 years. No garage so far has been able to give me a solution and I now avoid BMW because they simply cost too much. Paid over £2500 on my last visit for a roof issue. The car passes MOT with no advisories but the shooshing noise has just got worse over the years. Especially loud when its been stood for a while.

Hey, how's it going?
Sorry to revive this post, I just got a BMW Z4 E89 '09 sDrive 30i with 100k miles and it has the exact same noise you mentioned. Took it to a fine mechanic and he's quite sure it's the diff.
Could you solve your issue? Thanks for any update

Hi folks was this whooshing noise you describe there all the time or intermittent?
I get a very similar noise combined with a metal on metal "ting" but it happens every few seconds when I'm on the move
It doesn't seem to be linked to the auto box changing gear but I can't be certain
