Did some research and this is from Steve at Morristown BMW

If your Shifter light is on, the car is definitely staying awake.
Your Battery will go down within days. If the light is not on
you can have a parasitic draw, while the car is in sleep mode.
The only difference, is the second draw is from a module
witch can’t wake the system (not mission critical), and it will
take a lot longer to discharge the battery.
If you want I can give you a procedure to narrow down the fault.
But you will need a good voltage meter (Fluke 83).

Steve
