I am flummoxed as to how this is even possible . . .
Have been parking my 2022 M3 in the garage for a few weeks now. It's been two days since I last drove and my wife just noticed when parking her own car that mine is smushed up into the garage door. Some points of note:
1. I am the only driver
2. I do not / did not use summon
3. No FSD
4. Drive mode is Hold
5. Car was plugged into mobile connector
6. When placed into neutral, car starts rolling forward immediately.
7. Based on the damage, it is not possible that I did this by closing the garage door on the car
8. I do not have an automatic garage door system
What would have happened on Thursday: I went out to run an errand, when I came home I would have parked in the driveway, gotten out and opened the garage door, reversed into the garage, put the car in park and exited, closed the garage door manually (standing by the front left headlight and staring directly at the front of my car to ensure there was clearance), and then grabbed the mobile charger and used the push button on it to open the charge port door, inserted the charging cable, and then gone into the house via the interior door to the garage. I would not have put my seatbelt back on before reversing into the garage.
It is possible, as it sometimes happens, that when I went to close the garage door I realized I did not have enough clearance, in which case I would have gotten back into the car, put it into reverse, backed up a little bit, and then gotten out to the close the garage door, etc.
There would have been no reason at any time for me to put the car into neutral. I just did some experimentation and when in neutral the car starts rolling forward immediately. I cannot fathom that it would be possible for me to put the car in neutral and get out and make it to the front of the car without noticing the car was rolling forward and in fact by the time I did that I'm pretty sure the car would be partially out of the garage, that's how fast it rolls in my garage in neutral. Even if for some reason that day it wasn't rolling very fast or at all, the charge port door shouldn't have opened with the car in neutral.

Any ideas as to what might have happened here? We are completely bamboozled.
