2018 F80 M3 making laser detector go off during startup and also randomly other times

I just purchased a 2018 M3 and equipped it with an escort max 360 radar detector. The car is fully loaded with all the nanny stuff. My understanding is that Blind Spot Monitoring is Radar and not Laser.

Does anyone have problems with laser alerts going off within 10-15 seconds of turning on the detector? This is my main error. Also, I get sporadic laser alerts while driving even when there are no other cars in sight.

I've tried different positions, different power sources and a different car. The other car did not cause these alerts so it appears to be something specific to the BMW. There must be something emitting laser - i just would like to know what it is....

Escort has not been able to help and I live in Maryland where only laser is used. Escort says to disable laser but then what would be the point in having a detector when all I encounter is laser.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.
