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?

Something similar happen to me, I was driving normally and going about 30 mph. I was at the stop light then all suddenly the car start throwing all kinds of errors and it thought I was in a accident. The car went into limp mode, I wasnt able to drive faster then 20 mph and the power steering stopped working. Pulled over and shut the car down for 5 mins then everything started up fine.
Took it to dealership and they couldn't find the cause. They kept it for a month and change a bunch of random stuff and hasn't happen since. They still couldn't find the cause, I have only put on 800 miles since then so i am not sure if it will happen again. Also, i had only 1100 miles on the car when this happened. |

I was driving doing roughly 85 mph not a single car around me and my collision warning came on and slowed me down, though it was really weird and makes me think a ran over a.

This happens on launches between first and second gear. The force is so violent that it thinks it's in an accident.
Had a BMW Technician plug in the car and there was no other messages with it. |

had collision warning come on when taking a ramp at some speed. The ramp has a guard rail
I take this ramp every day driving to work at relatively same speed and the warning comes out like once a month |

Similar thing happened to me, although in m340. While backing out of garage collision warning went off stopping car though I was not close to anything. Highly sensitive technology I'd say

Mine sometimes beeps a collision warning when I'm backing down the driveway and get into the street. As I back into the street there are some metal utility covers embedded in the street that I back right over. When I first got the car, it would beep all the time when backing over them and a few times it actually applied the brakes. But it's almost like it's got AI and it has learned that they are not really a threat as they very rarely even cause a beep now, and the car hasn't applied the brakes at all in several months. (Yes, I know it doesn't have AI). I do have the sensitivity turned down to minimum, which I'm sure helps.

I've had my car for 5 months now. It happened once while showing my spouse how to launch the car. The car went sideways in a controllable manner before takeoff and the alert stayed on dash until the next morning. It hasn't happened since tho.

That one happened to me too. I thought I had actually backed over something the way it popped out of reverse into park. Tbh, I was getting closer to the sidewall than usual in an effort to miss the bucket. I know better now. 😅
