draws about 2x that, but still not enough to worry about. If yours is
more, then you need to pull fuses until you find the circuit.
Prime candidates are the FSR for the heater blower and the aux fan.
Until you get it fixed, I'd keep a battery tender on it so that the new
battery isn't being discharged all the time. Each discharge shortens
it's life.

Thanks very much for the reply!
Yes the car was in sleep mode when I tested the draw at the battery. I pulled every fuse and the draw was constant at 60ma.
I've had similar issues with E46's and the FSR but I could always hear the blower running - I sat in the car and listened and even put a stethoscope on the dash, there were no noises.
I'm just not sure where to even look or how to diagnose this issue.
Thnx for your advice. Cheers!
