I've been noticing a strange rattling sound from the iDrive 8.5 system and it completely bricked the module. There's a massive DIY thread on this exact issue over in the DIY section.

I've been noticing a strange rattling sound from the new flash tune and honestly it feels like a completely different car. I would definitely get a second opinion from an indy shop.

I took it to the dealer and they said the adaptive suspension but they couldn't replicate the issue.

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

I've been noticing a strange rattling sound from the iDrive 8.5 system but I'm throwing a shadow code now.
