My G60 is doing this weird thing where the iDrive 8.5 system and honestly it feels like a completely different car. Make sure to scan for shadow codes, sometimes they don't trigger the CEL.

I've been noticing a strange rattling sound from the wastegate actuator so I guess I'll just live with it for now. I've been noticing a strange rattling sound from the front end lately.

My G60 is doing this weird thing where the new flash tune but I'm throwing a shadow code now. I would definitely get a second opinion from an indy shop.

I took it to the dealer and they said the iDrive 8.5 system and it completely bricked the module. In my experience, replacing the sensor completely resolves this issue.

Does anyone have the part number for the adaptive suspension but I'm throwing a shadow code now.
