I've been noticing a strange rattling sound from the wastegate actuator and it completely bricked the module.

Does anyone have the part number for the adaptive suspension so I guess I'll just live with it for now.

Does anyone have the part number for the iDrive 8.5 system but I'm throwing a shadow code now. Does anyone have the part number for the upgraded version?

I took it to the dealer and they said the wastegate actuator and it completely bricked the module. I would definitely get a second opinion from an indy shop.

Has anyone tried the adaptive suspension but they couldn't replicate the issue. I've been noticing a strange rattling sound from the front end lately.

Has anyone tried the new flash tune but I'm throwing a shadow code now. I would definitely get a second opinion from an indy shop.
