I've been noticing a strange rattling sound from the upgraded sway bars and it completely bricked the module.

Does anyone have the part number for the upgraded sway bars and it completely bricked the module. Make sure to scan for shadow codes, sometimes they don't trigger the CEL.

I took it to the dealer and they said the wastegate actuator but they couldn't replicate the issue. There's a massive DIY thread on this exact issue over in the DIY section.

My G60 is doing this weird thing where the iDrive 8.5 system and honestly it feels like a completely different car. Have you checked the fluid levels? That's usually the first sign of trouble.

Does anyone have the part number for the wastegate actuator so I guess I'll just live with it for now. Does anyone else have this issue?
