Squeeky rattle noise from front of car

Anyone experience anything like this? It happens driving about 40mph around slightly bending curves. Clutch can be in or out, and any gear selected. Also, AC or heater can be on or off. It still does it. 2005 Cooper w/34000 miles.

It's a medium-pitch, constant squeeky rattle that's not too loud, but loud enough to hear if you turn off the radio.

Took it into the dealer a few weeks ago and they didn't hear it. Seems to be very pronounced on 1 road, but gets quieter everywhere else.

It's funny because my 07 328xi does the same thing...

Any ideas?

This problem sounds familiar with me as well.

I have a 2002 (R50). 112K Km's on it not sure what that is in mileage.

Anyone have any ideas? I have no warranty on mine obviously.
