I know this is an old thread, but I have endured wind noise at speed from the passenger window of my E82 128i. I tried to move the door striker, but to quiet the wind noise, the door had to be inside the bodywork, not a satisfactory adjustment.

The chassis is similar to the E9x, and the adjusting mechanism is as described. On my car, the hex bolt needs a 13 mm socket to loosen it. Once accomplished, I found it difficult to turn the T15 adjuster clockwise, so I tried the other direction. A quarter turn seems to have made enough of a difference, but I'll have to take a ride at some point to confirm this.

Thank you for posting this adjustment procedure! I'll let you know if I need to make further adjustments.

Edited to note 13 mm socket, not 14 mm. Also, I readjusted the passenger side as it was still a bit noisy. Then I adjusted the driver's side a bit, too. Weird that the adjusting screw wanted to return to a position, almost like it was spring loaded. Don't loosen the locknut too much. My car seems quite a bit quieter now even when there isn't a lot of wind!
