Do any of you have a wind noise that starts around 40mph? Sitting in the drivers seat, it sounds like it is coming from the center section. I cannot locate it though. It is not related to the climate control, as I can turn that off, and the noise is still there, and it stops when I get below ~40. If I sit in the passenger seat, I swear it is coming from the driver's window.

This will be a discussion at our 2nd date, but I was wondering if I am alone, or if it is a common issue on a F60 S.

Thanks for the reply. No roof rack, just the stock side roof rails. No exterior options.

I hope not. My hardtop does not do that. I can hear it over the radio. I do not believe that should be normal..

I wouldn't call it normal, my 2015 doesn't do it. Have them check your door and windshield weather stripping.

I agree that it's not 'normal'. My 2011 is reasonably quiet on the highway.

Moon roof?

My old Ciubbie with the moon roof was always loud.

Yes, wind-wise my car is very quiet... Tire and road noise is whole other story... runflats

I've never seen a 2010 in North America. 2011 was the first year for us.

true... they are 2010-16, but not until 2011 in the US. I was just pointing out that the 2017 is not an R60 and this is the "R60 :: Countryman Talk" sub.
isnt the 2017 an F60?

I see that you've made that comment elsewhere in this forum and we are all aware that the 2017 is an F series. I guess that when they finally get around to setting up a separate F60 forum we can keep answering questions about the F60 on the R60 forum. They're similar enough with regards to the OP's query.

Yeah, we're just offering our point of view and experiences with the R60 knowing they're not that different in this regard.

Yes, just picked up my countryman today and noticed a faint whistle, like there is a bad seal somewhere above me

Did you ever get a fix for this?

Took it to Mini of Mt Laurel on Tuesday night. On Wednesday, they determined it was a bad seal. Seal arrived Thursday, but too late for repair (or mechanic was busy.) Picked up an hour ago, ride home was quiet! YEAH! It is a good thing the 4-door loaner S was fun to drive!
