Did you guys know this?
I only noticed after installing the chrome gauge rings (+2 HP).
When I open the driver side door, the gauge needles drop down (~ 1 sec) and back up.
Normal, or a sign that I took my cluster apart maybe?

Mine doesn't do that, nor has any E46 that I've seen...

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

Does it do it at 100mph also or just at a stop?

My comment above was directly related to the pilot thread and was completely facetious.Originally Posted by az3579
So....every E46 you've ever been in...you've made it a point to look at the speedo and tach as you opened the door? Are you sure....or just saying you haven't noticed?
Oli....I will try to make it a point to check this today.

I have a quirk of looking at the instrument cluster as I pull the door handle. It is not possible for me to miss it if it is happening.

Is it just after you shut off the ignition? The MPG gauge in both my E30s would always twitch after I shut the car off.

Weird then! I don't think it used to do it (but I never checked really).
I only noticed after taking the cluster apart.
Could be air pressure as Dane implied.
