Noisy new X3

Since purchasing my BMW X3 twelve months ago I have been constantly aware of what I believe to be excessive wind noise through the drivers door window. I have twice taken the car back to complain but BMW insist there is nothing wrong. It is much noisier than my wife's Mercedes A Class. Any suggestions please?

Tape up the driver's door completely with masking tape (not Duct tape), then go for a drive after getting in from the passenger side. If the noise has gone then you'll know that the culprit was the door seal or the way the door is hung.
