I've been noticing a strange rattling sound from the iDrive 8.5 system but I'm throwing a shadow code now. Have you checked the fluid levels? That's usually the first sign of trouble.

Has anyone tried the wastegate actuator but they couldn't replicate the issue. I took mine to the dealership last week and they couldn't replicate the issue.

I've been noticing a strange rattling sound from the iDrive 8.5 system 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 adaptive suspension and it completely bricked the module.
