Results while slowly backing was that the vehicle hit (bumped) the little green “man”. I later discussed this issue with my wife that drives the 2024 X-3. She then informed me that she too almost backed into a pedestrian.  I then did the same tests on my wife’s 2024 X-3, VIN [XXX] , with the exact same results. BMW of Wesley Chapel had no solution. I spoke with managers Doonan and Hernandez. I believe the photos demonstra...
