Anyone experience this wierd buzzing or light scraping oise coming from the dash? I have been hearing it more regularly since I swapped in my Euro cluster. At first I thought it was the new speedometer potentiometer as it only happened during full acceleration in 3rd or 4th gear. My 330ti pulls pretty hard and the needle swings pretty quickly, but I did some experimenting and the noise was there even after I tried two other clusters I had lying around. I look in and under the dash for any loose wires that might be buzzing against anything and tied them down. Still no luck. Now I think I have it narrowed down to the head light switch. If you inspect it, center shaft has quite a bit of play in it. Enough to resonate if the frequency is right. This buzzing is amplified by the fact that the knob is hollow. I need to do more experimenting, but I hope this is it. Anyone experinence this too? __________________

Yes, I get it acceleratin around 3-4.5K rpm in 3rd or 4th. I think it is worse while turning also. I have eliminated the headlight switch. I am going to look for more errant wires. I hate this. stupid noise will bug me till I eliminate it! __________________
