I had to get something out of my car so I opend the drivers door and got it, then closed the door and noticed the LEFT SIDE Angel eyes were on and the left rear brake light was on....NOT THE RIGHT.....JUST THE LEFT SIDE.
Anyone ever have this happen before?

You hit the turn indicator when you exited the car, that turns on the parking lights. No worries

What is the maximum time that you can use it without draining your entire battery?

Depends on the battery...the parking lights (either all four corners or just two corners) will never be turned off by the car, only a dead battery will turn them off...
Lets say your on a night out and parked your car on the street side from 7pm till 12am. Will it last or will you have to call BMW assistance to jump start you car?

Yes. I mean, can I keep the two corners lights for 5h? Or there is a maximum time you can keep them on before the battery dies and cannot start your car next morning.
