I will give that a try, i did lock the doors and it stayed on but i didnt stay there to watch for 2-3 mins.

I guess the other option is a mirror tap up top and get rid of all the wires.
Wire to to the fuse box to fuse #50 with a tap. I HIGHLY suggest not doing a mirror tap. BMW's are very picky on power. Fuse #50 is unused and is constant power. It's very easy to do and won't eff with the electrical current needed for all of the safety systems in the mirror housing. Plus those harnesses are really hard to get to.
