    There could be a parasitic load which is draining the battery. I'd suggest to take your car to a BMW specialty shop. With an OE or similar diagnostic tool "Sleep Mode" can be selected and it will makes easier the trouble shooting.
    Parasitic load is usually caused by a module which won't turn off.
