Doors unlocking over and over on their own?

So,

I just picked up my F56 on Tuesday, and the last 2 days I've had some weird behavior.

I have the Comfort Access System, and I keep my key in my pocket all the time as a result. When I get in the car, I use the button on the door handle. I unlock, get in, close the door, depress the brake, and hit the start button. While I'm sitting there, letting the car warm up, the doors start trying to unlock over and over again, on their own. There's no pattern to it, it's seemingly random.

In addition, if I lock the doors, using the key fob or the button on the door itself, within a few seconds, they'll unlock on their own again.

I already thought that maybe the key was being pressed in my pocket by my jeans, but I took it out, put it in the cup holder, and the same thing kept happening.

Anyone have any ideas? I'll try and get some video of it tomorrow when I leave the house.

Yeah, it's happening with both key fobs.

Talked to my dealer, and he said to just bring it in for service. They'll give me a loaner, and hopefully it won't be a long process to get it resolved. It's pretty minor, but it's annoying nonetheless.

Took the car in, dealer said they had fixed it with a software update, but 2 days later it's back again. Going to call them again and see if they can nail it down.

EDIT: Uploaded a video I shot before taking the car in the first time:
