Best is to find what is still drawing power when the car is in sleep mode.
Place an Amp meter and record the draw when the car is in sleep mode, then pull fuses one by one until the Amp draw drops.
Locate what the fuse covers and fix it.

My bmw indy checked everything and found no problems including alternator.
A day later i check with my voltmeter, when car is parked and running, it showed 14V exact. So i made reassured my alternator is working in perfect order.
I also suspect a cable coming out from idrive side and that is connected aux. When i connected this jack to any device, idrive plays it at aux mode.
This cable was faulty and it was mended my indy. So far no warning of high rate of battery discharged appeared.
I keep my finger crossed

Hi Guys,
I replaced my battery with Varta 100mah and 830 cca.
A fews past, Thanks God, No similar warning whatsoever.
I ordered the battery on internet and did the job myself at garage.
So I am happy with the result
Thank you for the guidance.
All the best..

Hi
I bought jump start battery at Walmart store when i visited the Usa.

So i keep it at my trunk for a rainy day.
It also has a usb connectors that could charge my celular phone as well and also features as a powerfull torch and flashlight. Whistler brand.
All the best.

Congrats on solving the issue. do have the car coded as your Car monitors battery voltage and calculated temperature to maximize its life.

Thank you
I already visited my indy
He registered the battery to my car.
So it seems everything is sorted...
