This has happened the last two times that I have driven the car.
Also, right after this happened, the auto door lock/unlock feature quit working. At least I think it quit working. When I start the car and put it in gear, the doors do not auto lock. They also do not auto unlock when I turn off the car. The exit seat and steering wheel positioning works when door is opened.
Checked the manual, and couldn't find anything about this function. As I rarely drive this car, maybe I am wrong about the locks working this way, but I sure think that they did.
Anyway, seems as there has been some sort of a computer glitch somewhere, and I really don't want to have to go back to the dealer, so wonder if anyone here has any ideas as to what the problem could be.

| There is no auto-lock on the 08 M's...you have to manually lock and unlock. I did experience the same issue with the XM radio, where it said loading or something...it happened only once so far. It might just be something related to acquiring a signal...not sure. |

Definitely in underground situations, the satellite signal will be a problem. 
Even when driving under bridges and overpasses (like along the Long Island Parkway in certain places, as I discovered), you sometimes lose the signal for a few minutes.
In certain summer months, being under a tree might also exhibit similar signal loss ... the leaves are long enough at a particular frequency to absorb the RF signal. Known problem at cellular frequencies.

Thanks for the replies and for holding back on the ribbing about the door lock confusion!
