Are you running an aftermarket intake or air filter? I'm running a Greenfilter in the stock intake box and I just figured it was the excess air going into the engine....
Yes, about one month ago, I renewed air filter element with OE BMW part and the roaring sound came after the replacement. One week ago, I also renew the MAF sensor with OE BMW part, the sound still existed.
