Hmm... mine is just the opposite. It has a slight whine at slow speed, usually before it's warmed up, when I initially take off. After that, it's quiet as can be. Do you think it might be a good idea to reset the torque? It hasn't been driven much at all since I worked in this area.(less than 200 mi.)

The electronic speedometer is tuned from the instrument cluster end. I'm thinking the speedometer from your 300SE would solve the accuracy problem. It certainly is a very easy swap out to verify if it works.
