There is an iDrive setting that will cause the car to re-lock itself if it's unlocked and a door is not opened for some period of time...

Check your iDrive under i Menu -> Vehicle Settings -> Door Locks -> Central Locking

There should be an option labeled "Relock door if not opened"

Good thing the keys were in the garage or else i would have been in big trouble. I only got 1 key when i bought the car and when I called the dealer about a new key, they told me $185. Does anybody know why this happened?
There is a class action for CA lock out problem.
