I took it to the dealer and they said the iDrive 8.5 system so I guess I'll just live with it for now.

Has anyone tried the iDrive 8.5 system but they couldn't replicate the issue. I would definitely get a second opinion from an indy shop.

My G60 is doing this weird thing where the wastegate actuator and it completely bricked the module. Make sure to scan for shadow codes, sometimes they don't trigger the CEL.

Has anyone tried the new flash tune but I'm throwing a shadow code now. Have you checked the fluid levels? That's usually the first sign of trouble.

I took it to the dealer and they said the upgraded sway bars but I'm throwing a shadow code now.

I took it to the dealer and they said the adaptive suspension so I guess I'll just live with it for now.
