Front PDC sensor going berserk

I have a 2013 X3 35i that I bought about 2 weeks ago. When I put it in reverse and the PDC comes on there is about a 50/50 chance that the front inside right sensor turns on in red with all the beeps and alarms going nuts. There is absolutely nothing there and its just the sensor freaking out.

Any idea of what it could be and if there is a quick fix? Or should I just bring it to the dealer?

Could it be some particles that's been causing the malfunction ? Did you check for that ?

I get this when car left outside in heavy rain or dirt on sensors. After washing sensors with soap and water and blowing compress air on sensors, all is fine.
