I have a 2019 M550i, before that a 2016 550i, and before that a 2013 550i.

They've all had this weird obsession with wanting to stay powered on after the car has been stopped and I have shut off the engine.

99.9999% of the time, I get in the car, turn it on, drive to where I'm going, shut the engine off, and then exit the vehicle. Perhaps I'm mistaken, but isn't this what most people do?

Are other people really sitting in their car that frequently after shutting off the engine that this process is justified?

Every so often, maybe once every few months, I might have a need or desire to sit in the car with the infotainment system on, but that is truly an exception and could easily be addressed by just hitting the Start/Stop button to turn on the infotainment system.

It seems like a strange and incorrectly balanced tradeoff to have this overly complicated shutoff procedure in exchange for the "convenience" of that once a quarter situation where I might want to sit in the car with the radio on after I shut off the engine.
