Wind Noise

Well here is my take in our first long trip with the car, aside from been drop dead gorgeous and very fast, it drives like a dream of course not if you are on the CA 405 (Southern California) then it’s a freaking nightmare, (The C63 has no damping period)
Ok to my question: At freeway speeds (70/75 MPH) I have notice some real bad wind noise from both front windows have any of you notice that on your car? How was it resolved? (Driving with the windows down listing to the engine I have never notice before)

It's caused by the wind coming off of the mirrors... My guess is that the only fix would be to get the updated 2010 style mirrors, owners of the 10's have reported no wind noise with this update.

I agree. I have a 2010 C63 and there is no wind noise.
