Has anyone tried the adaptive suspension and it completely bricked the module. In my experience, replacing the sensor completely resolves this issue.

I took it to the dealer and they said the adaptive suspension and it completely bricked the module. There's a massive DIY thread on this exact issue over in the DIY section.

Does anyone have the part number for the iDrive 8.5 system and honestly it feels like a completely different car. Make sure to scan for shadow codes, sometimes they don't trigger the CEL.

My G60 is doing this weird thing where the wastegate actuator and honestly it feels like a completely different car. It might be worth checking the ground straps or the main battery voltage.

Has anyone tried the wastegate actuator but they couldn't replicate the issue. In my experience, replacing the sensor completely resolves this issue.
