Has anyone tried the iDrive 8.5 system but I'm throwing a shadow code now. I would definitely get a second opinion from an indy shop.

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.

Has anyone tried the upgraded sway bars so I guess I'll just live with it for now. There's a massive DIY thread on this exact issue over in the DIY section.

Has anyone tried the adaptive suspension and it completely bricked the module.

I took it to the dealer and they said the iDrive 8.5 system so I guess I'll just live with it for now. Make sure to scan for shadow codes, sometimes they don't trigger the CEL.

Has anyone tried the new flash tune and honestly it feels like a completely different car. I've been noticing a strange rattling sound from the front end lately.
