If I would have gone into BMW when I first heard this problem, they would have replaced my wastegate actuators, but based on what I found, new wastegate actuators would not have fixed the problem.

They need to replace the exhaust portion of the turbo that includes the actual wastegate.
Mr. 5: can you post a picture of exactly where you've placed this washer?

Thanks,
Rob
