Methods to turn off the interior power after the BMW engine is off: Use iDrive to turn off the interior power on the display, press the radio volume adjustment button for three seconds to turn off the interior power, or set the door-opening power-off function in the car to turn off the interior power. BMW was founded in 1916 and is headquartered in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. BMW (Bavarian Motor Works), the full Chinese name being Bavarian Engine Manufacturing Plant Co., Ltd., is a German luxury car brand. BMW's car series include the i, X, Z, and pure numeric models, with series such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Representative model parameters are as follows: BMW X7: Body length 5163mm, width 2000mm, height 1835mm, wheelbase 3105mm, equipped with a 3.0L turbocharged engine, maximum horsepower 340hp, maximum power 250kw, maximum torque 450nm, using a manual-automatic transmission (AT), four-wheel drive, front suspension double-wishbone independent suspension, rear suspension multi-link independent suspension.
After driving BMWs for so many years, I've summarized several methods. The most commonly used one is opening the door directly after turning off the engine - many BMW models will automatically cut off most power, but note that if you only open the sunroof or passenger door, it may not power off immediately. The second method is pressing and holding the start button for over 3 seconds without pressing the brake to force shutdown, at which point the instrument cluster will go completely dark. The third is waiting a few minutes for the system to automatically power off, though the exact time varies by model, generally ranging from 3 to 15 minutes. Additionally, some models allow adjusting power-off strategies when locking via the iDrive system. Special reminder for those who've installed dash cams: remember to check if it's connected to constant power lines, otherwise it will continuously drain the battery.
