They eventually reached that conclusion by running diagnostics and realizing that the LINBUS was not responding as expected. I am not expert in these things but that is what I recall from then.

To save you some money and time at first, I'd recommend you take off the fuse panel and see which fuse is related to the interior lighting (Sorry, I do not know which one it is at this time) and see if it is missing/loose

As a side note, my coding worked fine and did not affect the ability of the lights to come on or off. Restored it multiple times to factory and it was a hardware issue, not a software one. That was when I decided to bring it into the shop.
I had the same issue! BMW just called and said that there was a loose wire in the driver side door. I'm not sure if it's the wild door mechanism that makes it prone to disconnecting, but that's two cases right there.
