Very weird occurance

M340i owner here

So I was sat in traffic, the bus down the road had broken down so I decided to do a U-turn, cars were stationary on both sides of the road. As I was mid U-turn the PDC was beeping with the iDrive showing that there was something next to the driver side?

But there was absolutely nothing around the car, I proceeded to complete my U-turn but it slammed on the active PDC! twice!

Car isn't clean, but isn't filthy either, so it cant be a dirty sensor issue.

Very weird experience

I bet the old ticker was going! Perhaps a fly had landed on the sensor?!

I’d rather a few occasional false positives than a single false negative!

One of the parking spaces I had at work is really tight to reverse into, sometimes the car just refuses to allow me to reverse into it unless I disable the the safety systems. Other times it’s fine…..
That said like Paul says, better overzealous than not!
