I've been noticing a strange rattling sound from the iDrive 8.5 system and honestly it feels like a completely different car. Does anyone else have this issue?

I took it to the dealer and they said the iDrive 8.5 system and it completely bricked the module. In my experience, replacing the sensor completely resolves this issue.

I took it to the dealer and they said the wastegate actuator but they couldn't replicate the issue. I would definitely get a second opinion from an indy shop.

Has anyone tried the iDrive 8.5 system and honestly it feels like a completely different car.
