I finally got my front windscreen replaced yesterday. I can happily confirm that the passenger side wind noise is gone, and the only wind noise (if you can hear it) is exterior to the car.
What was disconcerting after the windscreen replacement was the front cameras had stopped working when I picked up the car at 4pm. It didn't occurred to me at the time; I started realising something was wrong when there was no speed limit on the screen. Peak hour traffic was at a crawl and I was some ways from the SC by then. I then noticed that there were no graphics of nearby vehicles and no road markings---it was just the M3 on a blank white background. Navigation was working, but when I tried TACC or AP they wouldn't engage.
Here's a shot I took of the screen then.

I stopped on a side street and did a soft reboot. No joy. When I got home, I did a hard reboot ... same thing. The obvious components replacing the windscreen would impact are the rear view mirror and front facing cameras. I plugged the dashcam USB drive into my PC and sure enough, all front facing videos recorded in the last hour were blank
.
After dinner and when my blood pressure had lowered sufficiently, I asked my better half to go on a drive to demonstrate the non-existent wind noise. When I got into the car, the first thing I saw on the screen was the speed limit---I couldn't believe it! I drove around for a bit and the front cameras must be working again. Everything was back to normal, vehicle graphics, road markings, and TACC/AP worked. I reviewed the new videos thereafter and the front videos had content as per normal. And wife was happy that the wind noise was gone.
I'm at a loss to explain what had happened. SC didn't mention anything at the pickup. I drove to work this morning and everything was working normally.
I'm going to email the Melb SC and ask if they would run a diagnostic on the car to verify that everything is working normally. Those of you that are getting your front windscreens replaced, do check that the speed limit/vehicle graphics/road markings are visible and TACC/AP works before you drive too far away from the SC.
