Hazard lights randomly flashing

Hey everyone, I just purchased a CPO '14 535d in November and so far, it has been amazing and trouble free.

However, something strange happened tonight. I parked my car and went inside to wait for a couple friends to arrive. Friend #1 arrives 45 minutes later and friend #2 arrives 15 minutes after that but when friend #2 comes in, he tells me my hazard lights are on.

Friend #1 says they weren't on when he arrived and my keys were on the table, untouched.

I inspected my car as best I could and didn't see any damage as if someone hit it. Friend #2 parked next to me - he has a 2009 Lexus IS250 so maybe the key fob interacted with my comfort access?

Does anyone have any thoughts as to what happened? The hazards stopped flashing as soon as I unlocked and locked the car. When I drove home, I didnt get any warning display and it wasn't in limp mode. What gives?

Sounds like your alarm went off after your 1st friend came in.
