Default Strange noise over 95 mph

Hi all, I have a '05 Mini Cooper, and almost every time I go over95 mph in the highway a noise starts, not mechanic but wind related I think, it goes away when I hit about 115, but I wanna know if this happens to anyone or if there'ssomething wrong with mine?
By the way I took it to the dealer... no solution.

Thanks from Mexico![8D]

Default RE: Strange noise over 95 mph

The noise you are experiencing is wind related. I suspect that you have a sunroof on your mini and that the wind deflectors are fluttering when the sunroof is shut and the deflectors are collapsed within. They can be removed if you can stand the battering with the sunroof open, otherwise it provides a pretty good audible warning that you are driving way to fast!
