UPDATE:
All seems quiet in the cabin again!
Dealer tech implemented LI88.20-P-056908 (212 facelift).
In my case, the noise did not occur when it was wet out, only when it was dry (maybe water changed the airflow/acoustics or provided some lubrication somehow).
Since the fix last week it had rained quite a bit but there were a few dry days where I could test it out and it seems good so far. Happy again.
Thanks for the technical details konigstiger!!

they did it on my car as well. basically they have to take the grill out
and stick some sort of foam on it to close the gap. the guy showed it to me
on a few pictures.. it doesn't matter if your car is an E63 or not, the problem (and solution) are exactly the same.

They have to remove the bumper also to get at the grill. Actually, there is a separate bulletin for the E63 (different grill) and the fix is different (i.e. no foam, but glue instead).

You have any spoilers in the rear? You say the noise appears at highway speeds and started after a car wash.
I have both roof and trunk lid spoilers and both had failing tape. Had the trunk lid spoiler replaced under warranty but it failed again. I used two-sided tape myself for a fix and it has been good since. MB does not seem to have the best tape on their parts.
The car wash could have knocked a spoiler loose in one end if you have them...?

Was in Germany the other day doing abt 200 km/h
somehow the wind was hitting the windscreen in such a way that it
sounded like someone was hitting it with a flat/open hand.
I guess it must be related to the "grill problem "....?
anyone here with similar issues...?

Will be calling dealer service.
