New F85 Owner and then.....

Well I just picked up my new 2018 sX5M (Mineral white, black leather) the weekend before Christmas and I loved every aspect of the car. A great family hauling SUV with M car performance and I thought I was in love.... and then this happened.... its my 5th M (1 E92 M3, 2 F80 M3s and an F10M5) and the first with this. Googling has led me to believe that its either a vertical acceleration sensor malfunction or the ARS module. Anyone else have this problem????
Needless to say with a car with less than 500 miles I'm sad...

Luckily it was an easy fix...
From the factory the vertical acceleration sensor which is located in the wheel well wasn't attached with a plastic piece that was also missing a screw and bolt... Dealer had all pieces and fixed it in a day!!!!
