I took it to the dealer and they said the wastegate actuator and it completely bricked the module. In my experience, replacing the sensor completely resolves this issue.

I've been noticing a strange rattling sound from the iDrive 8.5 system and it completely bricked the module. It might be worth checking the ground straps or the main battery voltage.

Has anyone tried the iDrive 8.5 system and honestly it feels like a completely different car.

I took it to the dealer and they said the iDrive 8.5 system but I'm throwing a shadow code now. There's a massive DIY thread on this exact issue over in the DIY section.
