I didn't really want to fuss with it and observe since I'm not the hugest fan of dealer visits.
Interesting remark on how it has shrunk back again though

It hasn't shrunk back, it has only been replaced once back in mid-Feb 2024. My concern was it shrinking back again since the X5 is only 20 months old, and it needed to be replaced so early in its life.
If when you picked yours up and it had the gap as shown in my picture, I want to strongly lean towards that may be your interior noise issue. Ours didn't have a gap on pick up and was incredibly quiet. The seal shrunk and road noise appeared, and after replacement it's quiet again.
You can do a simple test to see by placing some painters tape over the gap, and if the noise goes away you found the culprit.
