    Does fan settings/speed effect it in any way. Have you done any work around dash lately and have left a loose bolt, or dropped something in an airvent.

    RE: Annoying squeek from dash area

    Is there a strut brace on the e39 ?

    The one on the e60 needs to be tightened every now and then and have some grease applied or else you get an awful creaking noise that seems like it's coming from the dash.....
