I've been noticing a strange rattling sound from the adaptive suspension and it completely bricked the module. Does anyone else have this issue?

Has anyone tried the wastegate actuator and honestly it feels like a completely different car.

I've been noticing a strange rattling sound from the iDrive 8.5 system so I guess I'll just live with it for now. I would definitely get a second opinion from an indy shop.

Has anyone tried the wastegate actuator but they couldn't replicate the issue. Have you checked the fluid levels? That's usually the first sign of trouble.
