Any issues with car starting automatically on its own after coding?

Hey guys so yesterday was my first day coding with bimmercode, All i coded on was Sport+, and M Instrument Cluster... all which were done at like 7 PM EST, This morning my girlfriend woke me up saying my car was on at 655 AM EST, Car was on, locked, heated and i was confused and freaked as to why. Could i have possibly done something wrong with the coding or could it just have been a freak misfunction?

I did not have my keys near me at any point in the night

Did you set the departure thingy to 655 by mistake? If your car comes with remote start (not sure of it can be done without remote start), you can set a time where in the car can be preconditioned (not sure if that's the term). It can be set to start at a certain time (like 5 minutes before you leave for work or 5 minutes before you're set to return home from work). See if that is activated? Sometimes when you code, idrive settings can reset (rare but possible - happened to me only once).
