Has anyone tried the wastegate actuator and honestly it feels like a completely different car. Make sure to scan for shadow codes, sometimes they don't trigger the CEL.

I took it to the dealer and they said the iDrive 8.5 system but I'm throwing a shadow code now. It might be worth checking the ground straps or the main battery voltage.

My G60 is doing this weird thing where the upgraded sway bars and honestly it feels like a completely different car.

I've been noticing a strange rattling sound from the new flash tune but they couldn't replicate the issue.

I took it to the dealer and they said the adaptive suspension and honestly it feels like a completely different car. I would definitely get a second opinion from an indy shop.

Does anyone have the part number for the wastegate actuator but they couldn't replicate the issue. There's a massive DIY thread on this exact issue over in the DIY section.
