The sos antenna in our x3 had a leak around the seal due to a poor design. Over time the tcb got corroded and caused an sos system malfunction. I have researched other cases in which a malfunction had not popped up, but still replicated the same issues as with the warning. Part of the module is the automatic sos help, if one were to get into an accident and rely on this system not realizing it was faulty, it could result in much slower response times if said person were unable to access a phone able to call proper emergency response teams.

As I was making a 10 minute drive, on a highway about 30 minutes before dark, it just started to snow. Suddenly all of the front sensors started to flash "trouble" on the dash. I checked the front of the car and ice had formed over the sensors and headlights. That rendered the car unsafe to drive in the dark since the headlights could not shine through the ice. As for the distance sensors, I guess that is a desigh flaw as a function of how snow passes over the sensors. I believe that the led headlights do not generate enough heat to prevent ice from forming on the lens of the headlights.
