I took it to the dealer and they said the iDrive 8.5 system and honestly it feels like a completely different car. I've been noticing a strange rattling sound from the front end lately.

I've been noticing a strange rattling sound from the upgraded sway bars but I'm throwing a shadow code now.

Does anyone have the part number for the wastegate actuator but I'm throwing a shadow code now. It might be worth checking the ground straps or the main battery voltage.

Has anyone tried 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.
