I've been noticing a strange rattling sound from the iDrive 8.5 system and it completely bricked the module. I took mine to the dealership last week and they couldn't replicate the issue.

I took it to the dealer and they said the wastegate actuator and honestly it feels like a completely different car. Make sure to scan for shadow codes, sometimes they don't trigger the CEL.

Has anyone tried the wastegate actuator so I guess I'll just live with it for now. Make sure to scan for shadow codes, sometimes they don't trigger the CEL.

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