ACC Issues - repeated failure

Curious to hear if anyone else has this option and having any issues.

I specifically ordered my X2 M because this is a 'must have' feature for me, and no local BMW dealers had an X2M in stock with the option.

The system has been buggy since day 1 where it would give out on occasion, but now it regularly faults any time I use it. Doing my usual 3 hour drive home from Maine yesterday, clean windshield, clear weather, nothing in front of me, and the system deactivated at least 6 times. This happens routinely, and more alerting, the system has even applied the brakes (the red following car icon lights up) even though there is nothing in front of me.

My dealer has recommended I bring the car in for a service appt. - but curious if anyone in this community has experienced similar issues.

My fear is that this is just a poorly executed system - as it a 'camera-only' system with no radar sensor (more cost-cutting by BMW), and have read in various other forums that camera-only systems are not as dependable as radar based systems.

Eager to hear from other owners on experience with this.
