I went to 3 dealers and all of them refused to replace the sensor. They all wanted to keep the car for 1-2 days to update the software.

In the end I went to an independent high-end custom shop and they replaced the sensor with an OEM BMW sensor. The cost was $170. This fixed the problem.

Shame on my local BMW dealers for refusing to do a simple warranty repair and trying to do more expensive time wasting things first. I reckon they probably just wanted to keep my car to do some joyriding.

BTW I highly recommend CEC in Miami. Excellent custom shop - very good work they showed me.
