Yep, it's a different experience compared to any other cars I've had. Just an absolute ton of electronics. You can push and hold the volume button to shut stuff down when you park, if you don't want to lock it. Once you open a front door, absolutely everything fires back up. I just always lock mine in the garage with the added bonus that it folds the mirrors in out of the way too. Just takes a while to get used to that being the norm. On my 2012 5 series, I've timed the aux power because it seemed like it never shut off. Turns out that it stays on for exactly 12 minutes if you don't lock the car. If you lock it, then power stays active for about 5 minutes. I haven't timed it on my 750, but it seems like it stays on an awful long time, so I usually shut it down just so it doesn't wear on the batteries (main in the trunk and the one under the hood).
