My i3 is kind of crappy on the highway, I think it needs new door seals.
Came across this discussion on reddit,

And found this statement really intriguing.

You could try the M-Sport mirror covers (eBay), they reduced wind noise quite a bit, but I could hear the electric motor more clearly. So I switched them back.

Has anyone tried this?

I have an e92 m3 and I can confirm that the m mirrors are functional and redirect air around the car, but I'm skeptical that these caps would do the same.

I have never noticed much wind noise from the area of the wing mirrors and it is rathe chilliy for me to be crusing about with the windows down at this time of year... judging from the photos posted on that listing(which i admit look rather cool if they dont have 'M' badging of logo) might these also need you to fit the seaquential indicator {i.e., modern 'Trafficators'} turn kit to the mirrors?
