Parasitic Battery Drain e53

[Bmwe5320023.0]

I got the fuse buddy tester and I found it completely useless.
All the fuses that have the draw, F12, F25, F86, they all show 0


And this is also why I don't like the voltage drop test. Voltage drop on the multimeter shows 0 as well...this could make for a super frustrating experience, if I had not previously connected the DMM in line with battery cable, so I know 100% which fuses dropped the draw when I pulled them.

Appreciate your sharing in detail your procedures and what worked and didnt for you. That and the other posts in this thread really helped me understand what to look for and how to find it!

I dont have the time to tear into it yet so I am just going to be using the X a bit more to keep the battery charged. Just observing voltages running and over various periods of time for now while I find time for a thorough check up.
