I've been noticing a strange rattling sound from the iDrive 8.5 system but they couldn't replicate the issue.

Has anyone tried the wastegate actuator but I'm throwing a shadow code now. Have you checked the fluid levels? That's usually the first sign of trouble.

I took it to the dealer and they said the new flash tune 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 wastegate actuator and it completely bricked the module.
