Turning off car- interior led lights on still
So I usually don’t lock my car when it’s parked in the garage. I have been trying to figure out the best way to turn off the car. Might sound silly but the car sometimes completely shuts off with no issues and sometimes feels shutoff but interior led and music continues playing for awhile before shutting off.
Like 20 mins before it shuts down. Figure that’s not good for the battery. Also feels like car play might causing the issue Anybody else experiencing the same |

Ehloo - yes I have noticed this too. If I drive into my garage, hit the engine off button and then exit the vehicle within a relatively short period of time, everything immediately shuts off. If I hit the engine off button and then remain in the vehicle on a phone call and listen to the end of a music track, then upon exiting the vehicle everything remains on as you point out.
In the settings I have selected auto lock the vehicle after walking away, so as soon as my car remote is far enough away it auto locks and shuts everything down. |

Ours is set to automatically lock/unlock based on proximity. So it just locks in the garage when I am a few feet away.
That turns off the the car right away (minus the dash cam) |

Crud. Always feels like I forgot to turn off the car |

The newer BMW since G Chassis, you will need to wait a second after turning off the engine to open the door to have everything shut-off.
If you open the door to fast, iDrive system will stays on for 20-30 minutes. And since you have left a key inside the car, that's what causing the light to stays on. If that happened, you need to close and open the door (driver side) or press and hold the volume button to turn off the iDrive system.

I had the auto lock initially enabled but disabled it when the car was at the detailer for PPF and ceramic coating. Keep forgetting to re-enable it (heading to the garage after this posting to do so).
What I've learned is always shutoff the car before opening the door and all is well. In the few cases over the past several weeks in which I open the door before shutting off the car the easy answer is once the driver's door is closed (audio system still playing) just touch the comfort access mark on the handle to lock it and everything shuts down. Auto lock will do the same. |

So turning the car off and waiting for a couple of secs will turn everything off. Takes a little getting used too but finally no questions of my battery is going to die

I had this same question, Ben at RG Sport clarified. In the settings, there is an option to shut off the vehicle when the door is opened. I thought it was going to turn off the engine when the door was opened so I didn’t check the box. However, this box you check means it shuts off the infotainment stuff once the engine is already off. So check that box in the settings and let us know if that solves your problem. I too like to leave the keys in the car when I get out. Problem solved.

This post cracked me up. For several weeks I had wanted to post the same question, but I was too embarrassed to admit I could't figure out how to turn off a car. I finally broke down and searched through the owner's manual, which lays out there various "states" of the systems and different ways to trigger them. I now shut off the engine with the start/stop button, and then press the idrive power/volume button to shut off the systems. it's all good. |

If you ever need to "reboot" your system; while the engine is on, push the volume button down for 2 minutes and it will reboot everything. |

Merely shutting off the engine and locking it powers everything down. I use the comfort access feature to auto-lock the car as I walk away so this behavioral oddity we all see is moot now.
On the Idrive reboot, I've seen so many variations of how long you need to hold the button with some folks claiming it's a different reboot if you hold it longer... so I tried to test it. I couldn't discern any differences between holding the power button down for ~30 seconds which triggers a reboot and doing so for well over a minute—all it seemed to do was consider it another 30-second hold and rebooted again. |

Can you explain exactly how I get this to work/activated? Thanks. I have comfort access on my M5. |

[QUOTE=limeypride;26219625]I believe this is an iDrive 7 setting and unless the M5s have that (I'm clueless to the fact) then it will not work. That said I have my M850i set to the same configuration so no matter what I do, i.e., open the driver door before shutting off, etc. as I walk away the car automatically locks the doors and shuts down iDrive. I sometimes grin internally as the M850i does its magic considering I hear it shut off the the glorious B&W audio which is blasting as I walk away.

Of course this all assumes that BMW recognizes the fact that a universal code base with the intelligence to adjust accordingly to the hardware available is a best practice in the software world. Then again we all know they can't fight their way out of a paper bag when it comes to software proficiency. Did your 2020 M5 with iDrive7 have the option to automatically collapse the mirrors when locked? My wife's 2017 X5 with iDrive 6 does not have that option yet the mirrors are powered and it has Comfort Access as well. There is an iDrive update for it but reading the software release notes it just fixes things that are not broken for her (e.g. iOS connectivity as she has a Pixel 2). |
