Front Sensor Phantom signal

2018 X3 with 1200 miles . I am getting a false warning from right front sensor that I am close to something . Happens a lot at stop lights or slow speed . When it goes off say at a traffic light with no one beside me the vehicle silhouette blinks from either the right corner green "V" indicator or just a gray image of the entire vehicle that remains on the display until I move . Very annoying . Hard to catch a picture of the screen . I'm not one to fiddle with phone much in the car.
Also the indicator lamp on the shift console changes from on to off without being pushed . I notice it seems to act on it's own.
The car is spotless and I have cleaned the sensor.

I had Sirrius radio activated recently and not sure if there is any software glitch with that being added . I know for certain this false signal didn't happen before.

Do you have parking assistant option? If so, you may have the assistant on auto enabled. Car thinks you are parallel parking and sensors activates when stop or moving slowly thinking you are parking. I had the same issue but disabled sensor in idrive option.

Your X3 is haunted, obviously. Get a priest and perform an exorcism, the problem will go away.
