Car thinks I hit something

Today I was driving aggressively through the mountains and came to a long straight. I stopped and initiated launch control up to around 80mph. A “check control - damage detected” warning came on the infotainment screen. The car seemed fine after I check it out and listened for any odd sounds. The car drove just fine for the next 20 miles of aggressive driving. When I got home I clicked on the suggestion in the warning message to call BMW Roadside assistance through idrive. A bmw rep answered the call and said my car sent a message to them that a minor, no airbag accident was detected. I said nope, nothing happened and she said okay, that’s fine and the detection system is sensitive. Weird. Anyone else experience this?
