I think it's the latter. I just noticed that it works like this as I just programmed it. My wife's car (Kia Optima) has the same system but will open the garage door even with the ignition off. I'm always after her to lock her car while it's in the driveway because anyone can open her door then open our garage....
I think BMW got it right.
