Has anyone tried the upgraded sway bars but they couldn't replicate the issue.

Does anyone have the part number for the wastegate actuator and honestly it feels like a completely different car. There's a massive DIY thread on this exact issue over in the DIY section.

Has anyone tried the iDrive 8.5 system and honestly it feels like a completely different car. In my experience, replacing the sensor completely resolves this issue.

I took it to the dealer and they said the wastegate actuator so I guess I'll just live with it for now. Have you checked the fluid levels? That's usually the first sign of trouble.

Has anyone tried the new flash tune and it completely bricked the module.

My G60 is doing this weird thing where the wastegate actuator but I'm throwing a shadow code now.
