I cut pieces from a $10 sunroof "kit" from amazon.Neoprene tubing with 4 or 6mm OD, ideally not hallow. Hard to find for reasonable prices and in smaller lengths but with enough searching on Amazon, eBay Motors or even Etsy, it can be found.
Friction holds it in place provided it's tight enough.How do you guys get the tubing to stay in the gap?
On the mirror, I tried to fit the wind noise reduction tubing for the top glass into the underside mirror gap but it was too big. What type of material did you use? Link if possible?
Thanks!

An alternative method that I think takes care of multiple issues at once, and not just the top gap
In higher end cars, you'll notice this entire fender area is closed off, but on our relatively "cheap" M3, it is wide open, and frankly, ugly.
If you tap around the fender you'll also notice its pretty hollow and tinny sounding, which would then translate itself to the cabin via air or structurally.
Bought a roll of 4" adhesive backed foam:

Cut it to shape and made sure it filled every gap. and hole. Plus, it's black, so it hides all your cutting crimes.

Warning: this will only elevate OTHER wind noise, road noise, and interior buzz/squeak/rattles.
Thank you for this suggestion it does make a difference and it just looks better now.
I tried to do this again and it was stretched so thin that it cracked at the spot I tried to spudger it in, haha! That said, I actually got some 2mm solid rubber tubing from McMasters? and it fit in well. May try to get the 3mm since the 4mm round was too big. My mirror space must be very small comparatively...Just the same tubing as used for sunroof.. I squeezed it in really tight. Try again..

Anyway, surprisingly, it worked very well! I still get some top of the windshield air noise, but it is noticeably tolerant at 70mph and measuring with my decibel app, average cabin is about 66dB. 80+mph, gets a little louder, but overall pleased...
Anyone find a fix for the road noise now aside from suspension and wheel changes? Going in on MPPs soon and looking to 18" >19" wheels from my stock 20"...
Hope everyone is well and thank you all for the different inputs on this wind issue!

If the pad compresses easily it should work but it mayde press against the hinge attachments. If you are ok with that yes I suspect it would fit.Would you think 1/2 inch thick pads be too thick for this application? Or 1/4 inch is good enough?

Told you so
Regarding roadnoise, I have these installled since last week and they are amazing, wayy less roadnoise!

I assumed I'd need dynamat to get rid of tire & road noise.
Nope, wont help. Most of the noise is actually NVH via the chassis and suspension, steering rack. Once you eliminate the rest... thats what 'shines through'.
added the foam like how arcticSun suggested and had a noticeable reduction in noise.
also added a strip of foam right inside the original weather stripping as shown in the pic. This further reduced the noise. Also quite noticeable.
Not sure if it’s similar to those door seal, but looks like this works and I’m probably not getting the door seals.
thanks to the people in here. My 2020 model gets even quieter now. The next noise are from mirror. I do want to keep the auto fold feature. Brainstorming now.
