I was horrified, shocked and upset when I realized what I had done (luckily it was only about 45 mins, not 4 hours like you did!). I too, cannot believe, that BMW or MBZ would even allow this to happen. The car should not lock from the outside, if the engine is operating!!
MBZ must have fixed this, because on my '08 ML320cdi with Keyless Go, one cannot leave the engine running, and lock the vehicle.

I had an '07 Mini cooper S with comfort access, which could be locked with the engine running. I actually liked this "feature", as it allowed me to keep the engine running on cold mornings, with the vehicle locked, as I ran into a 7-11.
