Wacky lock/unlock and mirror fold

All, A few minutes ago, while I was rinsing the non-stop pine pollen off of my '06 330i, something mildly wacky happened. While I was rinsing off the drivers door, the car locked and unlocked itself. I thought "...hmm..that's comfort access acting up because water is hitting the sensor." Then, the mirrors folded themselves in and then unfolded themselves while I was rinsing the hood, and the doors unlocked and locked themselves again. This happened a few more times, and I thought "Are the keys in my pocket pressing up against something that's making the car unlock and relock itself?" No, they're just sitting there without any pressure on them. The windows were sealed tight, as was the roof.

What's up with the folding and unfolding trick? My car isn't programmed to do this; I have to press the fold button to get them to perform. And, they don't do this when taking the car through an automatic car wash.

Do I have a gremlin? If so, is this common?
