Comfort Access Gremlins

Found car locked with key inside. This was in my garage, where I NEVER lock the car. Is there not a safeguard built in to prevent this? Thankfully had wallet key handy to enter.

Update: My wife inadvertently bumped her BMW fob while entering another vehicle parked in the garage, which locked the E90 with the other key inside. Tried this myself to verify; one CAN lock the car with a key inside. It also triggered the memory settings (seats/mirrors), even though the other key was closer to the driver's seat.

Yes, there is. It should be impossible to lock a CA key inside the car or trunk.

Yep. OP, take it to the dealer to get it looked at if that's happened to you.
