Now the question is: can it be resolved. Do I have to make an appointment with the dealer?
How on earth is this possible, it seems like an major desing fault. I mean; BMW is doing high speed testing or what?

It's just a guess, no conclusion. The resonance can have a totally different cause. Have it checked. Is it only a resonance sound or do you also experience vibration in the steering wheel? |
I don't know why all the confusion, it sounds pretty self-explanatory to me; there is a hole in the hood, so as the car builds up momentum, it causes air to ram through the opening, creating turbulence, which is the byproduct of all kids of strange sounds..
The same way, for example, how drilled/slotted rotors generates a
whooshing sound, as the air passes through the vent openings..
The only thing that's surprising to me, is that BMW, even on a limited production model, didn't smooth out the edges and create a discernible work-around to this inherent and obvious issue, of that an open hood..
Some decisions are so well-thought out and others are so asinine 🤷🏻
