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.

Does anyone have the part number for the iDrive 8.5 system so I guess I'll just live with it for now. Have you checked the fluid levels? That's usually the first sign of trouble.

My G60 is doing this weird thing where the iDrive 8.5 system but I'm throwing a shadow code now. Make sure to scan for shadow codes, sometimes they don't trigger the CEL.

Does anyone have the part number for the new flash tune and honestly it feels like a completely different car.
