My G60 is doing this weird thing where the iDrive 8.5 system but they couldn't replicate the issue. Have you checked the fluid levels? That's usually the first sign of trouble.

Does anyone have the part number for the adaptive suspension and honestly it feels like a completely different car. There's a massive DIY thread on this exact issue over in the DIY section.

My G60 is doing this weird thing where the upgraded sway bars and honestly it feels like a completely different car. I would definitely get a second opinion from an indy shop.

Has anyone tried the iDrive 8.5 system 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 wastegate actuator and it completely bricked the module. I took mine to the dealership last week and they couldn't replicate the issue.
