If that's the case, seems any thief could walk up with a bottle of water and unlock the car.
The reports of “spontaneous” CA door/sunroof openings in heavy rain were usually a little vague and un-provable. I always assumed that the keys were in a location close enough to be “seen” by the CA system. For example, the keys could be on a table by a window just in front of the parked BMW — think ground floor apt/condo with parking immediately outside the window.
