I thought I was bad but I've not yet worried about a noise I need to press my ear against to notice! Too many other noises to cover a slight noise up! One of the worst built cars I've owned. Still love it tho. How odd is that.

nahh not pump. my old one had a noise from the dash like a fan running.

its def water in the seal around the roof joint/ door window joint. it did rain last night and even though last night nothing but this morning it sounded like blowing air from your wet lips so yes its possible water getting in between the seal and the glass. as long as it does not travel down do the foot well like my first 03 z4 not bothered

Are you sure its not just the noise of the glass going back up when you close the door? Of all the things I've had, there's no noise other than the clunk of the door and noise of the glass going back up.

I only noticed this for the first time yesterday, and again today. I think it's just air escaping from the seal when the window raises up. As mentioned above it's like a hissing noise.

Mines when the window drops when getting out, must have a small pin hole in the seal so water is getting in as the seal expands when the window drops or contracts when the window raises.
