The only time I've gotten a side warning, PDC and 360 cameras were already on. I was pulling into my garage and probably 4" from a towel hanging while drying out. It gave a "possible collision" warning, not just beeps.

But I believe the other replies to be correct. In general PDC will only auto-activate when approaching a front obstacle. If you have the full driving assistance package it may give a side collision warning and attempt to pull the car away. My 2018 M550i could do that, and did once when a truck passed me way too close.
