Okay.
I'm stupid.
new 09 E61
automatic.
i went to an automatic car wash.
Put the car in neutral.
turned off the engine.
as the car rolled along inside the system, i realized,
"EEK--i forgot to put the key fob in!!"
I was afraid to put the fob in, in case doing so rammed the car into park.
I made it to the other end of the wash.
Have i damaged something? Could the wash system have somehow pushed the stationary car through?

You're probably OK. I wouldn't make a habit out of it.
