I've got one. Seems to be coming from around the front tunnel area or under the dashboard on the passenger side. Seems to subside greatly when braking but can be quite annoying crusing along bumpier roads.

I thought it would be easy to find something maybe a bit loose under there that would need a bit of tightening, but have found nothing obvious.

Any ideas anybody?
Many Thanks.

Radio cage moving - there's no rear support so it flops? Also the radio plastic front panel can squeak - try silcon spray.

I also has a squeak from the the l/h leather padded piece atop the dash (3R and M400 only I think?) where the steel clips go into the dash.

Must admit the radio has some movement and can make a little squeak when I jiggle it.
I'll try your suggestion.
