PDC sensor issue

Hello! I am having an issue where while backing up, my right front inboard sensor triggers an obstacle where there is nothing in front. There is no debris on it or anything. Is it a bad sensor?.... Anyone have any issues with this kind of thing?

My sensors occasionally show phantoms. If it was always happening, I would have it checked out or you can test them yourself in Rheingold.

Rheingold AKA ISTA-D for Diagnosing and ISTA-P for Flash Programming is a set of software that BMW service stations use.
