F15 services required

-Driver door, lock switch cover is loose

-Knocking sound coming from under belly of car over rough roads/bumpy roads. Like a socket moving around down there.

-Open front windows and thudding and whistling occurs. Possibly due to side mirror housing design.

-Open Sunroof, or windows at speed and luggage cover start thudding in trunk.

UPDATE:

At my dealership now. The shop foreman has it on the rack for the noise below first and lock trim next.

As for the window and sunroof noises they told me more X5 owners need to report the same issues I am having to BMW through their service advisors as they did for me in front of me.

Once my main issues are sorted we will be driving two M sport ones they have on the lot to test the similar wind noise issues and they will contact BMW from there accordingly.

As we were speaking we find the mirror housings to be at fault and the magnet for the luggage cover to not be strong enough at 40+ mph full open element driving.
