The tech drove all the Coupes they had on the lot and they all had the wind noise - some more than the others. Maybe it's normal for the model, but it certainly isn't normal for a $30K car.
Where on your molding did you attach the tape? I complained to the dealer and they said the wind noise was normal. They also said it was normal for the steering to wander on a coupe. With the sat. radio, both keys HAVE to be the same with regards to the functions installed with the computer. I had radio settings installed that my wifes key did not. ie-daytime running lights, radio settings and others. Using both keys or with hers in her purse and mine in my pocket confuses the computer. Not having either key in the dash may be the problem--

How fast are you going to get the noise? I haven't experienced it yet. I was doing about 80 in some pretty windy weather over the weekend and heard nothing.. Now the runflats... lol those things are LOUD.
Do you mean on a long 'hold' of the window up toggle?
I guess I'm just remembering wrong.
I could have sworn after swiping into the gate at work, I would just flick the toggle and put my card away as the window was rolling up. Holding the toggle "up" on my Coupe has just felt wrong since the first day.

I am glad I am not the only one that had that feeling. I have the same routine at work.
Without the tape it's definitely noticeable on the highway, passenger side more than the driver's. In fact everybody I gave a ride to thought the door wasn't shut.
Now the runflats - that's another story...

Huh. I haven't had that experience. My GF would have said something had she noticed the wind noise.

I don't have any wind noise either. I've had my car in the upper reaches of the speedo but no noticeable wind noise to me.
I don't even mind the run flats. I just crank it up.
After two months and 1400 miles of ownership, I have experienced a few quarks with my coupe. Just wondering if anyone else has had these minor problems. #1 seat heater too hot-even on low.#2 Wind noise from either windows or windshield surround-no leaks. #3 boot hatch needs adjustment. #4 Steering of car wanders (I have non runflat tires) #5 Sirius radio forgets locked in stations but they return in a few days and that is just weird. When the loss happens, the headlights come on during the day and go off when the memory stations are remembered. Anyone else having like problems?
Other than that, I love my Coupe

No, I have owned front wheel drive cars before this S Coupe. As a matter of fact, I owned a '04 MCS for seven years with 105,400 miles before this MINI. This car wanders back and forth----

I wonder if that can be 'fixed'.
Doesn't your window roll up automatically with a quick toggle up? Don't hold the toggle switch, just flick it up. The window should continue to automatically roll up.
It does sound like there's an issue with wandering. Mine is arrow-straight on a nice smooth road; if there are ruts, however, then it starts to ride between them a little bit. Still, it's nothing scary at all, it just makes me focus on driving even more!

At least it does on a Countryman.
They can't put a pinch sensor on a ragtop so the Roadster doesn't have the auto-up windows. The Coupe is basically a hardtop Roadster, so it doesn't either.
Been driving for a week and my only tiny issue is a little clunk on the rear passenger area. Not sure what it is but it only happens on big bumps. Everything else is perfect.
